24 C.F.R. § 891.175
§ 891.175 Technical assistance. (24 CFR Part 891)
Operative Text
For purposes of the Section 202 Program and the Section 811 Program, the Secretary shall make available appropriate technical assistance to assure that applicants having limited resources, particularly minority applicants, are able to participate more fully in the programs.
Under 24 CFR Part 891 § 891.175, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is directed to provide technical assistance specifically to support applicants with limited resources who seek to participate in the Section 202 (supportive housing for the elderly) and Section 811 (supportive housing for persons with disabilities) programs. The provision places particular emphasis on ensuring that minority applicants are not effectively excluded due to resource constraints. The rule frames this assistance as a federal obligation intended to broaden and equalize access to these housing programs.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Organizations and sponsors pursuing funding or participation under the Section 202 or Section 811 programs should be aware that § 891.175 establishes a federal commitment to technical assistance for resource-limited applicants. Compliant program operators and prospective sponsors generally familiarize themselves with HUD's available technical assistance channels before and during the application process. Reaching out to the relevant HUD field office or program office is a common step taken by applicants seeking to understand what assistance may be available to them under this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
For individuals or organizations connected to housing developments funded under the Section 202 or Section 811 programs, § 891.175 reflects a federal policy that HUD should actively support applicants—especially minority and resource-limited applicants—in accessing these programs. If you believe this technical assistance has not been made available as contemplated by this provision, general enforcement paths include contacting HUD directly, reaching out to a local HUD field office, or connecting with a tenant-rights or fair housing organization for guidance. These organizations can help identify what resources or assistance may be available under this provision.
General guidance for tenants — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult a tenant-rights organization or attorney for advice on your case.
