definitions apply to this subpart:

    Emergency Modernization (CIAP). A type of modernization program for

    (1) Not designated as Troubled under part 901 of this chapter, 

Public Housing Management Assessment Program (PHMAP); or

    (2) Designated as Troubled, but has a reasonable prospect of 

acquiring management capability through CIAP-funded management 

improvements and administrative support. A Troubled PHA is eligible for 

Emergency Modernization only, unless it is making reasonable progress 

toward meeting the performance targets established in its memorandum of 

agreement or equivalent under Sec.  901.140 of this chapter or has 

obtained alternative oversight of its management functions.

    Modernization capability. A PHA has modernization capability if it 

is:

    (1) Not designated as Modernization Troubled under part 901 of this 

chapter, PHMAP; or

prospect of acquiring modernization capability through CIAP-funded 

management improvements and administrative support, such as hiring staff 

or contracting for assistance. A Modernization Troubled PHA is eligible 

for Emergency Modernization only, unless it is making reasonable 

progress toward meeting the performance targets established in its 

memorandum of agreement or equivalent under Sec.  901.140 of this 

chapter or has obtained alternative oversight of its modernization 

functions. Where a PHA does not have a funded modernization program in 

progress, the Field Office shall determine whether the PHA has a 

reasonable prospect of acquiring modernization capability through hiring 

staff or contracting for assistance.

    Other Modernization (modernization other than emergency). A type of 

modernization program for a development that includes one or more 

physical work items, where HUD determines that the physical improvements 

are necessary and sufficient to extend substantially the useful life of
