    Section 202 of the Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and 
Appropriations Act of 1996 (Pub.L. 104-134, approved April 26, 1996) 
(``OCRA'') requires PHAs to identify certain distressed public housing 
developments that cost more than Section 8 rental assistance and cannot 
be reasonably revitalized. Households in occupancy that will be affected 
by the activities will be offered tenant-based or project-based 
assistance (that can include other public housing units) and will be 
relocated, to

other decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing which is, to the 
maximum extent practicable, housing of their choice. After residents are 
relocated, the distressed developments (or affected buildings) for which 
no reasonable means of revitalization exists will be removed from the 
public housing inventory.
