24 C.F.R. § 93.452
(a) General. HUD will use the procedures in this section in conducting the performance review as provided in § 93.451 and in taking corrective and remedial actions.

(b) Performance review. (1) If HUD determines preliminarily that the grantee has not met a requirement of this part, the grantee will be given notice of this determination and an opportunity to demonstrate, within the time prescribed by HUD (not to exceed 30 calendar days) and on the basis of substantial facts and data, that it has done so.

(2) If the grantee fails to demonstrate to HUD's satisfaction that it has met the requirement, HUD will take corrective or remedial action in accordance with this section or § 93.453.

(c) Corrective and remedial actions. Corrective or remedial actions for a performance deficiency (failure to meet a provision of this part) will be designed to prevent a continuation of the deficiency; mitigate, to the extent possible, its adverse effects or consequences; and prevent its recurrence.

(1) HUD may instruct the grantee to submit and comply with proposals for action to correct, mitigate, and prevent a performance deficiency, including:

(i) Preparing and following a schedule of actions for carrying out the affected activities, consisting of schedules, timetables, and milestones necessary to implement the affected activities;

(ii) Establishing and following a management plan that assigns responsibilities for carrying out the remedial actions;

(iii) Canceling or revising activities likely to be affected by the performance deficiency, before expending HTF funds for the activities;

(iv) Reprogramming HTF funds that have not yet been expended from affected activities to other eligible activities;

(v) Reimbursing its HTF account in any amount not used in accordance with the requirements of this part;

(vi) Suspending disbursement of HTF funds for affected activities; and

(vii) Establishing procedures to ensure compliance with HTF requirements;

(2) HUD may also change the method of payment from an advance to reimbursement basis and may require supporting documentation to be submitted for HUD review for each payment request before payment is made; determine the grantee to be high risk and impose special conditions or restrictions on the allocation in accordance with 2 CFR 200.207 or 200.338; and take other remedies that may be legally available.

Plain English

Under 24 CFR Part 93 § 93.452, when HUD identifies a potential failure by a Housing Trust Fund (HTF) grantee to meet program requirements, it must first give the grantee written notice and up to 30 calendar days to respond with substantial facts and data. If the grantee's response is unsatisfactory, HUD is authorized to impose a range of corrective and remedial actions aimed at stopping the deficiency, reducing its harm, and preventing it from happening again. These actions can include requiring action plans, reprogramming unspent funds, suspending disbursements, demanding reimbursement, or designating the grantee as high risk with added restrictions.

For Property Managers

Property owners and developers participating in HTF-funded projects should be aware that § 93.452 governs how HUD responds when a grantee — typically a state agency administering HTF funds — falls short of program requirements. Compliant HTF grantees generally maintain thorough documentation, follow established management plans, and track expenditures carefully so they can respond substantively within HUD's prescribed timeframe if a preliminary deficiency finding is issued. Operators working under HTF allocations benefit from understanding that unresolved deficiencies can result in suspended disbursements or reprogramming of funds, which may directly affect project timelines and financing.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

Tenants living in housing developed or assisted with HTF funds have an interest in knowing that § 93.452 establishes a federal oversight mechanism designed to keep grantees accountable for meeting program requirements. If a grantee's noncompliance affects tenant protections or housing conditions, the corrective actions HUD can require under this provision — such as revised activity plans or reimbursement of misused funds — are intended to mitigate adverse effects on residents. Tenants who believe HTF program requirements are not being followed may consider contacting their local HUD field office, a local tenant-rights organization, or a legal aid provider to understand what options may be available under § 93.452 and related provisions.
