                 TITLE 24--HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

 

  CHAPTER VIII--OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR HOUSING-FEDERAL 

 

PART 884_SECTION 8 HOUSING ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS PROGRAM, NEW CONSTRUCTION 

SET-ASIDE FOR SECTION 515 RURAL RENTAL HOUSING PROJECTS--Table of Contents

 

               Subpart B_Project Development and Operation

 

Sec.  884.219  Overcrowded and underoccupied units.



    If HUD or the PHA, as the case may be, determines that a Contract 

unit assisted under this part is not Decent, Safe, and Sanitary by 

reason of increase in Family size, or that a Contract unit is larger 

than appropriate for the size of the Family in occupancy, housing 

assistance payments with respect to such unit will not be abated, unless 

the Owner fails to offer the Family a suitable unit as soon as one 

becomes vacant and ready for occupancy. In the case of an overcrowded 

unit, if the Owner does not have any suitable units or if no vacancy of 

a suitable unit occurs within a reasonable time, HUD (or the PHA) will 

assist the Family in finding a suitable dwelling unit and require the 

Family to move to such a unit as soon as possible. The Owner may receive 

housing assistance payments for the vacated unit if he complies with the 

requirements of Sec.  884.106(c)(1).
