24 C.F.R. § 93.354
§ 93.354 Funding Accountability and Transparency Act. (24 CFR Part 93)
Operative Text
The HTF grant to the grantee and all assistance provided to subgrantees and recipients shall be considered a Federal award for purposes of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (31 U.S.C. 6101 note).
Under § 93.354, Housing Trust Fund grants and the assistance flowing from them to subgrantees and recipients are treated as federal awards under the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006. This classification means the money is subject to the public reporting and accountability requirements that apply to federal financial assistance generally. The rule's effect is to bring HTF funding within the transparency framework Congress established for tracking how federal dollars are spent.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and developers receiving HTF assistance should be aware that § 93.354 places their funding within the federal transparency reporting framework, meaning the grants and awards they receive may appear in public federal spending databases. Compliant operators generally cooperate with grantees and subgrantees in providing the information needed to satisfy federal reporting obligations tied to this classification. Understanding this framework helps operators anticipate the documentation and disclosure expectations that accompany HTF-funded projects.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section § 93.354 means that HTF funds used to develop or support rental housing are tracked as federal awards under a public accountability law, giving the public a basis to look up how those dollars were allocated. Tenants who want to understand the federal funding behind their housing can consult publicly available federal spending databases such as USASpending.gov. Those with concerns about how HTF funds are being used in their housing may also reach out to a local tenant-rights organization or HUD's office for guidance on available oversight channels.
