24 C.F.R. § 983.201
§ 983.201 Applicability. (24 CFR Part 983)
Operative Text
Subpart E applies to all PBV assistance under part 983 (including assistance for existing, newly constructed, or rehabilitated housing).
Section 983.201 establishes that the rules contained in Subpart E of 24 CFR Part 983 govern all Project-Based Voucher (PBV) assistance administered under that part, regardless of whether the housing units involved are existing structures, newly constructed buildings, or properties that have undergone rehabilitation. This broad applicability clause means no category of PBV-assisted housing is exempt from Subpart E's requirements. The provision functions as a scope statement, anchoring all subsequent Subpart E rules to the full universe of PBV assistance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers participating in the PBV program should be aware that under § 983.201, Subpart E requirements apply to their units whether the property was existing at the time of the HAP contract, newly built, or rehabilitated. Compliant operators generally review all of Subpart E when entering or renewing PBV agreements, rather than assuming certain provisions apply only to specific construction types. Familiarity with this broad applicability helps ensure that no Subpart E obligation is inadvertently overlooked based on a property's construction status.

Tenants living in PBV-assisted housing—whether in existing, newly constructed, or rehabilitated units—are covered by the full set of protections and requirements found in Subpart E, as established by § 983.201. This means the rules governing how PBV assistance is administered apply uniformly across housing types, and tenants can reference Subpart E when questions arise about their rights under the program. Tenants who believe Subpart E requirements are not being followed may consider contacting their local Public Housing Authority, a HUD field office, or a tenant-rights organization for general information about available options.
