Sec. 511.13  Nondiscrimination, equal opportunity, and affirmative 
marketing requirements.

    In addition to the nondiscrimination and equal opportunity 
requirements set forth in 24 CFR part 5, the following requirements 
apply:
    (a) Affirmative marketing. The grantee shall adopt appropriate 
procedures and requirements for affirmatively marketing units in 
rehabilitated rental rehabilitation projects through the provision of 
information regarding the availability of units that are vacant after 
rehabilitation or that later become vacant. Affirmative marketing steps 
consist of good faith efforts to provide information and otherwise to 
attract eligible persons from all racial, ethnic and gender groups in 
the housing market area to the available housing. (These affirmative 
marketing procedures will not apply to units rented to families with 
housing assistance provided by a PHA.) The grantee shall establish 
procedures, requirements and assessment criteria for marketing units in 
the Rental Rehabilitation Program that are appropriate to accomplish 
affirmative marketing objectives. The grantee shall annually assess the 
affirmative marketing program to determine: Good faith efforts that have 
been made to carry out such procedures and requirements; objectives that 
have been met; and corrective actions that are required.
    (1) For each grantee, the affirmative marketing requirements and 
procedures adopted must include:
    (i) Methods for how the grantee will inform the public, owners and 
potential tenants about Federal fair housing laws and the grantee's 
affirmative marketing policy (such as the use of the Equal Housing 
Opportunity logotype or

slogan in press releases and solicitations for owners, and written 
communications to fair housing and other groups);
    (ii) Requirements and practices each owner (including the grantee or 
any other public owner) must adhere to in order to carry out the 
grantee's affirmative marketing procedures and requirements (e.g., use 
of commercial media, use of community contacts, use of the Equal Housing 
Opportunity logotype or slogan, display of fair housing poster);
    (iii) Procedures to be used by owners (including the grantee or any 
other public owner) to inform and solicit applications from persons in 
the housing market area who are not likely to apply for the housing 
without special outreach (e.g., use of community organizations, 
churches, employment centers, fair housing groups or housing counseling 
agencies);
    (iv) Records that will be kept describing efforts taken by the 
grantee and by the owners (including the grantee or any other public 
owner) to affirmatively market units and records to assess the results 
of these actions;
    (v) A description of how the grantee will assess the affirmative 
marketing efforts of owners (including the grantee or any other public 
owner), and the results of those efforts, and what corrective actions 
will be taken where an owner fails to follow these affirmative marketing 
requirements.
    (2) For States distributing rental rehabilitation grant amounts to 
units of general local government, the affirmative marketing procedures 
and requirements shall also set out the actions that State recipients 
must take to meet the objectives set out in Sec. 511.13(b), the record 
keeping and reporting requirements such State will require of State 
recipients, and the procedures that such State will follow to determine 
what action has been taken by State recipients to assess the results of 
these affirmative marketing efforts.
    (3) The grantee or State recipient shall require compliance with the 
conditions of its affirmative marketing requirements and procedures 
adopted under paragraph (b) of this section by means of an agreement 
with the owner that shall be applicable for a period of ten years 
beginning on the date of completion of rehabilitation, as defined in 
Sec. 511.2.
