                 TITLE 24--HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
CHAPTER IX--OFFICE OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR PUBLIC AND INDIAN HOUSING, 
               DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
PART 972_CONVERSION OF PUBLIC HOUSING TO TENANT-BASED ASSISTANCE--Table of Contents
 
      Subpart B_Voluntary Conversion of Public Housing Developments
 
Sec. 972.227  Public and resident consultation process for developing 
a conversion plan.

    (a) A conversion plan must be developed in consultation with 
appropriate public officials and with significant participation by 
residents of the development.
    (b) The requirement for consultation with public officials may be 
satisfied by obtaining a certification from the appropriate state or 
local officials that the conversion plan is consistent with that 
jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan. This may be the same certification as 
is required for the PHA Annual Plan that includes the conversion plan, 
so long as the certification specifically addresses the conversion plan.
    (c) To satisfy the requirement for significant participation by 
residents of the development, in addition to the public participation 
requirements for the PHA Annual Plan, a PHA must:
    (1) Hold at least one meeting with the residents of the affected 
sites (including the duly elected Resident Council, if any, that covers 
the development in question) at which the PHA must:
    (i) Explain the requirements of section 22 of the United States 
Housing Act of 1937 and these regulations, especially as they apply to 
residents of affected developments; and
    (ii) Provide draft copies of the conversion plan to them.
    (2) Provide a reasonable comment period for residents; and
    (3) Summarize the resident comments (as well as the PHA responses to 
the significant issues raised by the commenters) for HUD, and consider 
these comments in developing the final conversion plan.
