      Subpart B_Voluntary Conversion of Public Housing Developments

 

Sec.  972.227  Public and resident consultation process for developing 

a conversion plan.



    (a) A conversion plan must be developed in consultation with 

appropriate public officials and with significant participation by 

residents of the development.

    (b) The requirement for consultation with public officials may be 

satisfied by obtaining a certification from the appropriate state or 

local officials that the conversion plan is consistent with that 

jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan. This may be the same certification as 

is required for the PHA Annual Plan that includes the conversion plan, 

so long as the certification specifically addresses the conversion plan.

    (c) To satisfy the requirement for significant participation by 

residents of the development, in addition to the public participation 

requirements for the PHA Annual Plan, a PHA must:

    (1) Hold at least one meeting with the residents of the affected 

sites (including the duly elected Resident Council, if any, that covers 

the development in question) at which the PHA must:

    (i) Explain the requirements of section 22 of the United States 

Housing Act of 1937 and these regulations, especially as they apply to 

residents of affected developments; and

    (ii) Provide draft copies of the conversion plan to them.

    (2) Provide a reasonable comment period for residents; and

    (3) Summarize the resident comments (as well as the PHA responses to 

the significant issues raised by the commenters) for HUD, and consider 

these comments in developing the final conversion plan.
