                 TITLE 24--HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
  CHAPTER VIII--OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR HOUSING-FEDERAL
 
PART 891_SUPPORTIVE HOUSING FOR THE ELDERLY AND PERSONS WITH 
DISABILITIES--Table of Contents
 
                 Subpart A_General Program Requirements
 
Sec. 891.185  Preemption of rent control laws.

    The Department finds that it is necessary and desirable to assist 
project owners to preserve the continued viability of each project 
assisted under this part (except subpart E) as a housing resource for 
very low-income elderly persons or persons with disabilities. The 
Department also finds that it is necessary to protect the substantial 
economic interest of the Federal Government in those projects. 
Therefore, the Department concludes that it is in the national interest 
to preempt, and it does hereby preempt, the entire field of rent 
regulation by local rent control boards or other authority acting 
pursuant to state or local law as it affects those projects. Part 246 of 
this title applies to projects covered by subpart E of this part.
