The purpose of this part is to set forth the policies and procedures for the Modernization program authorizing HUD to provide financial assistance to Public Housing Agencies (PHAs). (b) Applicability. (1) Subpart A of this part applies to all modernization under this part. Subpart B of this part sets [[Page 499]] forth the requirements and procedures for the Comprehensive Improvement Assistance Program (CIAP) for PHAs that own or operate fewer than 250 public housing units. Subpart C of this part sets forth the requirements and procedures for the Comprehensive Grant Program (CGP) for PHAs that own or operate 250 or more units. A PHA that qualifies for participation in the CGP is not eligible to participate in the CIAP. A PHA that has already qualified to participate in the CGP may elect to continue to participate in the CGP so long as it owns or operates at least 200 units. (2) This part applies to PHA-owned low-income public housing developments (including developments managed by a resident management corporation pursuant to a contract with the PHA); conveyed Lanham Act and Public Works Administration (PWA) developments; and to Section 23 Leased Housing Bond-Financed developments. Rental developments which are planned for conversion to homeownership under sections 5(h), 21, or 301 of the Act, but which have not yet been sold by a PHA, continue to qualify for assistance under this part. This part does not apply to developments under the Section 23 Leased Housing Non-Bond Financed program, the Section 10(c) Leased program, or the Section 23 or Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments programs. (3) A section 23 Leased Housing Bond-Financed development is eligible for modernization only if HUD determines that the development has met the following conditions: (i) The development was financed by the issuance of bonds; (ii) Clear title to the development will be conveyed to or vested in the PHA at the end of the section 23 lease term; (iii) There are no legal obstacles affecting the PHA's use of the property as public housing during the 20-year period of the modernization; (iv) After completion of the modernization, the development will have a remaining useful life of at least 20 years and it is in the financial interest of the Federal Government to improve the development; and (v) The development is covered by a cooperation agreement between the PHA and local governing body during the 20-year period of the modernization. (4) A section 23 Leased Housing Bond-Financed development which has been conveyed to the PHA after the bonds have been retired is similarly eligible for modernization if the conditions specified under paragraph (b)(3) of this section have been satisfied. (5) A development/building/unit which is assisted under section 5(j)(2) of the Act (Major Reconstruction of Obsolete Projects) (MROP) is eligible for section 14 funding (CIAP or CGP) where it received MROP funding after FFY 1988 and has reached Date of Full Availability (DOFA) or where it received MROP funding during FFYs 1986-1988 and all MROP funds have been expended. (c) Transition. Any amount that HUD has approved for a PHA must be used for the purposes for which the funding was provided, or: (1) For a CGP PHA, for purposes consistent with an approved Annual Statement or Five-Year Action Plan submitted by the PHA, as the PHA determines to be appropriate; or (2) For a CIAP PHA, in accordance with a revised CIAP budget. (d) Approved information collections. The following sections of this subpart have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and assigned OMB approval number 2577-0044: Sec. Sec. 968.135, 968.145, 968.210, 968.215, 968.225, and 968.230. The following sections of this subpart have been similarly approved and assigned approval number 2577.0157: Sec.
