Under 24 CFR Part 983 § 983.4, the Project-Based Voucher (PBV) program operates within a broad web of other federal requirements rather than in isolation. This provision functions as a cross-reference map, directing readers to rules covering topics such as fair housing, lead-based paint, income calculation, labor standards, domestic violence protections, and more. Each referenced rule carries its own obligations and rights that apply alongside the PBV-specific regulations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Owners and property managers participating in the PBV program must recognize that § 983.4 extends their compliance obligations well beyond PBV-specific rules. A compliant operator generally ensures adherence to fair housing and nondiscrimination standards, lead-based paint requirements, Davis-Bacon labor standards for qualifying projects, and domestic violence protections under 24 CFR part 5, subpart L, among others. Owners who breach a Housing Assistance Payments contract may also face civil money penalties under 24 CFR 30.68.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants in PBV housing benefit from the full range of federal protections cross-referenced in § 983.4, including fair housing rights, domestic violence protections under 24 CFR part 5, subpart L, and income-calculation rules. If a tenant believes one of these protections has been violated, general enforcement paths include raising the issue with the local Public Housing Authority, filing a complaint with the relevant federal agency, or contacting a tenant-rights organization for guidance.
