24 C.F.R. § 960.101
§ 960.101 Applicability. (24 CFR Part 960)
Operative Text
This part is applicable to public housing.
Section 960.101 establishes the scope of 24 CFR Part 960 by limiting its applicability to public housing. This means the rules, requirements, and procedures set out throughout Part 960 govern public housing specifically and do not extend to other federally assisted housing programs. The provision serves as a threshold statement that defines which housing falls under the regulatory framework that follows.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Public housing authorities and property managers operating under the public housing program should recognize that § 960.101 anchors the entire Part 960 framework to public housing specifically. Compliant operators generally ensure that their policies, lease agreements, and tenant selection procedures align with Part 960 when managing public housing units. Understanding this scope provision helps operators distinguish which federal regulations apply to their portfolio, particularly when managing multiple types of federally assisted housing.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
If you live in public housing, § 960.101 confirms that the full set of rules in 24 CFR Part 960 applies to your housing situation. This means the rights and protections established throughout Part 960 are available to public housing residents. Tenants who believe their housing authority is not following Part 960 requirements may raise those concerns with their local public housing authority, a HUD field office, or a tenant-rights organization familiar with public housing regulations.
