24 C.F.R. § 200.635
§ 200.635 Compliance. (24 CFR Part 200)
Operative Text
Applicants failing to comply with the requirements of this subpart will make themselves liable to sanctions authorized by regulations, rules or policies governing the program pursuant to which the application was made, including but not limited to denial of further participation in departmental programs and referral to the Department of Justice for suit by the United States for injunctive or other appropriate relief. The Department will enforce compliance through the procedures outlined in 24 CFR part 108.
Section 200.635 establishes that applicants who fail to meet the requirements of this subpart expose themselves to a range of consequences, which can include being barred from future participation in HUD programs or having their case referred to the Department of Justice for federal legal action. The provision also specifies that HUD enforces compliance through the procedures set out in 24 CFR part 108. In short, noncompliance with the subpart's requirements carries meaningful institutional and legal consequences administered at the federal level.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 200.635, property owners and managers who apply for HUD programs are expected to satisfy all requirements of the applicable subpart as a condition of continued participation. Compliant operators generally maintain thorough documentation of their adherence to program requirements and address any identified deficiencies promptly, since the enforcement framework under 24 CFR part 108 can result in denial of future program access or referral to the Department of Justice. Staying current with HUD program rules and internal compliance reviews is a common practice among operators seeking to avoid the sanctions described in this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 200.635 is primarily directed at applicants—typically property owners or developers—seeking participation in HUD programs, rather than at tenants directly. However, tenants living in HUD-assisted housing may have an indirect interest in this provision because it signals that landlords who fail to comply with program requirements can face serious federal consequences, including potential loss of program participation. Tenants who believe their landlord is violating HUD program requirements may find it useful to contact a local tenant-rights organization or HUD's complaint intake process to understand what options exist under 24 CFR part 108 enforcement procedures.
