                 TITLE 24--HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
  CHAPTER VIII--OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR HOUSING-FEDERAL
 
PART 884_SECTION 8 HOUSING ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS PROGRAM, NEW CONSTRUCTION 
SET-ASIDE FOR SECTION 515 RURAL RENTAL HOUSING PROJECTS--Table of Contents
 
               Subpart B_Project Development and Operation
 
Sec. 884.219  Overcrowded and underoccupied units.

    If HUD or the PHA, as the case may be, determines that a Contract 
unit assisted under this part is not Decent, Safe, and Sanitary by 
reason of increase in Family size, or that a Contract unit is larger 
than appropriate for the size of the Family in occupancy, housing 
assistance payments with respect to such unit will not be abated, unless 
the Owner fails to offer the Family a suitable unit as soon as one 
becomes vacant and ready for occupancy. In the case of an overcrowded 
unit, if the Owner does not have any suitable units or if no vacancy of 
a suitable unit occurs within a reasonable time, HUD (or the PHA) will 
assist the Family in finding a suitable dwelling unit and require the 
Family to move to such a unit as soon as possible. The Owner may receive 
housing assistance payments for the vacated unit if he complies with the 
requirements of Sec. 884.106(c)(1).
