PART 583_SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PROGRAM--Table of Contents
 
                     Subpart D_Program Requirements
 
Sec. 583.320  Site control.

    (a) Site control. (1) Where grant funds will be used for 
acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction to provide supportive 
housing or supportive services, or where grant funds will be used for 
operating costs of supportive housing, or where grant funds will be used 
to provide supportive services except where an applicant will provide 
services at sites not operated by the applicant, an applicant must 
demonstrate site control before HUD will execute a grant agreement 
(e.g., through a deed, lease, executed contract of sale). If such site 
control is not demonstrated within one year after initial notification 
of the award of assistance under this part, the grant will be 
deobligated as provided in paragraph (c) of this section.
    (2) Where grant funds will be used to lease all or part of a 
structure to provide supportive housing or supportive services, or where 
grant funds will be used to lease individual housing units for homeless 
persons who will eventually control the units, site control need not be 
demonstrated.
    (b) Site change. (1) A recipient may obtain ownership or control of 
a suitable site different from the one specified in its application. 
Retention of an assistance award is subject to the new site's meeting 
all requirements under this part for suitable sites.
    (2) If the acquisition, rehabilitation, acquisition and 
rehabilitation, or new construction costs for the substitute site are 
greater than the amount of the grant awarded for the site specified in 
the application, the recipient must provide for all additional costs. If 
the recipient is unable to demonstrate to HUD that it is able to provide 
for the difference in costs, HUD may deobligate the award of assistance.
    (c) Failure to obtain site control within one year. HUD will 
recapture or deobligate any award for assistance under this part if the 
recipient is not in control of a suitable site before the expiration of 
one year after initial notification of an award.
