24 C.F.R. § 891.160
§ 891.160 Audit requirements. (24 CFR Part 891)
Operative Text
Nonprofit organizations receiving assistance under this part are subject to the audit requirements of 2 CFR part 200, subpart F.
Section 891.160 establishes that nonprofit organizations receiving federal housing assistance under 24 CFR Part 891 must comply with the audit requirements set out in 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart F, commonly known as the Uniform Guidance audit standards. These standards generally require covered organizations to undergo independent audits of their federal funding when expenditures meet certain thresholds. The rule ties financial accountability obligations directly to the receipt of this category of federal assistance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Nonprofit operators and owners receiving assistance under 24 CFR Part 891 should maintain financial records and internal controls consistent with the audit requirements referenced in § 891.160, specifically those found in 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart F. Compliant organizations typically engage qualified independent auditors, track federal expenditures carefully, and submit audit reports within the timeframes established under the Uniform Guidance. Keeping documentation organized and audit-ready is a standard practice for organizations subject to this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 891.160 requires that the nonprofit housing provider receiving federal assistance under Part 891 meet federal audit standards, which is part of how the government oversees the proper use of funds in programs that may affect your housing. If you have concerns about whether a nonprofit operator is complying with its federal financial obligations, you may contact HUD's local field office or review publicly available audit reports. Tenant-rights organizations can also help explain how federal oversight mechanisms under § 891.160 relate to the broader protections available in federally assisted housing.
