24 C.F.R. § 574.605
§ 574.605 Applicability of uniform administrative requirements, cost principles, and audit requirements for Federal awards. (24 CFR Part 574)
Operative Text
The provisions of 2 CFR part 200, “Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards”, apply to HOPWA grants.
Section 574.605 establishes that the government-wide framework found in 2 CFR Part 200—which sets uniform rules for how federal grant money must be administered, how costs are calculated and justified, and how financial audits are conducted—applies fully to Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) grants. This means HOPWA-funded programs are not governed by a separate or unique administrative standard, but instead follow the same baseline requirements that apply across most federal grant programs. The provision effectively incorporates an entire body of federal grant management rules by reference.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and housing providers participating in HOPWA-funded programs should be aware that, under § 574.605, the full suite of 2 CFR Part 200 requirements governs how grant funds are managed, tracked, and reported. Compliant operators generally maintain detailed financial records, ensure that costs charged to the grant meet federal allowability and allocability standards, and cooperate with any audit processes required under the uniform framework. Organizations administering HOPWA grants typically establish internal controls and accounting practices that align with 2 CFR Part 200 before drawing down or expending federal funds.

For tenants receiving housing assistance through HOPWA programs, § 574.605 means that the organizations providing that assistance are bound by federal administrative and financial accountability standards under 2 CFR Part 200. These rules are designed to ensure that federal funds are spent appropriately and that programs are subject to oversight, which can serve as a basis for complaints if funds appear to be misused. Tenants who believe a HOPWA grantee is not following proper grant administration practices may raise concerns with the administering local or state agency, HUD's field office, or a tenant-rights organization familiar with federally funded housing programs.
