                       Subpart C_Program Operation
 
Sec. 984.301  Program implementation.


    (a) Program implementation deadline. (1) Voluntary program. There is 
no deadline for implementation of a voluntary program. A voluntary 
program, however, may not be implemented before the requirements of 
Sec. 984.201 have been satisfied.
    (2) Mandatory program--(i) Program start-up. Except as provided in 
paragraph (a)(3) of this section, operation of a local FSS program must 
begin within 12 months of the earlier of notification to the PHA of 
HUD's approval of the incentive award units or of other funding that 
establishes the obligation to operate an FSS program. Operation means 
that activities such as outreach, participant selection, and enrollment 
have begun. Full delivery of the supportive services to be provided to 
the total number of families required to be served under the program 
need not occur within 12 months, but must occur by the deadline set 
forth in paragraph (a)(2) of this section.
    (ii) Full enrollment and delivery of service. Except as provided in 
paragraph (a)(3) of this section, the PHA must have completed enrollment 
of the total number of families required to be served under the FSS 
program (based on the minimum program size), and must have begun 
delivery of the supportive services within two years from the date of 
notification of approval of the application for new public housing units 
for a public housing FSS program or for new rental certificates or 
rental vouchers for a Section 8 FSS program.
    (iii) Extension of program deadlines for good cause. HUD may extend 
the deadline set forth in either paragraph (a)(1) or paragraph (a)(2) of 
this section if the PHA requests an extension, and HUD determines that, 
despite best efforts on the part of the PHA, the development of new 
public housing units will not occur within the deadlines set forth in 
this paragraph (a), the commitment by public or private resources to 
deliver supportive services has been withdrawn, the delivery of such 
services has been delayed, or other local circumstances warrant an 
extension of the deadlines set forth in this paragraph (a).
    (b) Program administration. a PHA may employ appropriate staff, 
including a service coordinator or program coordinator to administer its 
FSS program, and may contract with an appropriate organization to 
establish and administer the FSS program, including the FSS account, as 
provided by Sec. 984.305.
