Sec.  964.3  Applicability and scope.



    (a) The policies and procedures contained in this part apply to any 

PHA that has a Public Housing Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) with 

HUD. This part, except for subpart E, does not apply to PHAs with 

housing assistance payments contracts with HUD under section 8 of the 

U.S. Housing Act of 1937.

    (b) Subpart B of this part contains HUD policies, procedures, and 

requirements for the participation of residents in public housing 

operations. These policies, procedures, and requirements apply to all 

residents participating under this part.

    (c)(1) Subpart C of this part contains HUD policies, procedures, and 

requirements for residents participating in the Tenant Opportunities 

Program (TOP) (replaces the Resident Management Program under Section 20 

of the United States Housing Act of 1937). Resident management in public 

housing is viable and remains an option under TOP.

    (2) Subpart C of this part is not intended to negate any pre-

existing arrangements for resident management in public housing between 

a PHA and a resident management corporation. On or after September 23, 

1994, any new, renewed or renegotiated contracts must meet the 

requirements of this part, the ACC and all applicable laws and 

regulations.

    (d) Subpart D of this part includes requirements for the Family 

Investment Centers (FIC) Program which was established by Section 22 of 

the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C.

1437t) to provide families living in public housing and Indian housing 

with better access to educational and employment opportunities.

    (e) Subpart E of this part implements section 2(b) of the United 

States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437), which provides for resident 

membership on the board of directors or similar governing body of a PHA. 

Subpart E applies to any public housing agency that has a public housing 

annual contributions contract with HUD or administers tenant-based 

rental under section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 

U.S.C. 1437f).

    (f) The term ``resident,'' as used throughout this part, is 

interchangeable with the term ``tenant,'' to reflect the fact that local 

resident organizations have differing preferences for the terms. Terms 

such as ``resident council'' and ``tenant council'' and ``resident 

management'' and ``tenant management'' are interchangeable. Hereafter, 

for ease of discussion, the rule will use the terms resident, resident 

council and resident management corporation, as appropriate.
