24 C.F.R. § 884.117
§ 884.117 Disclosure and verification of Social Security and Employer Identification Numbers by owners. (24 CFR Part 884)
Operative Text
To be eligible to become an owner of housing assisted under this part, the owner (other than a PHA) must meet the disclosure and verification requirements for Social Security and Employer Identification Numbers, as provided by 24 CFR part 5.
Under 24 CFR Part 884 § 884.117, any owner seeking to participate in this HUD-assisted housing program—except for a Public Housing Authority—must satisfy federal disclosure and verification requirements for Social Security Numbers and Employer Identification Numbers. These requirements are governed by the standards set out in 24 CFR Part 5. The rule establishes this as a threshold eligibility condition, meaning an owner who has not met these requirements cannot participate in the program.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Owners seeking to provide housing under 24 CFR Part 884 § 884.117 generally ensure that their Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number is properly disclosed and verified in accordance with 24 CFR Part 5 before entering into any program agreements. Compliant operators typically gather and submit the required identification documentation as part of the initial application or approval process. Staying current with HUD's administrative requirements under Part 5 is a standard part of maintaining eligibility under this program.
