Rather than establishing new rules itself, this provision points administrators and reviewers to the specific parts of the Code of Federal Regulations—such as 24 CFR part 5, part 891, and a range of occupancy-related sections—that contain the operative requirements. It functions as an index to help users locate the authoritative rules on tenant eligibility and admission standards across multiple HUD program types.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Owners and managers of HUD-assisted properties covered by Section 3-14 of HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 are expected to be familiar with the underlying federal regulations cited therein, including the relevant subparts of 24 CFR parts 5, 236, 880, 881, 883, 884, 886, and 891. Compliant operators typically maintain current copies of these cited regulations and use them as the basis for written tenant selection plans, occupancy standards, and admission procedures. Because this provision cross-references multiple program-specific rules, operators generally verify which citations apply to their specific program type before establishing eligibility and occupancy policies.

Section 3-14 of HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 identifies the federal regulations that set the framework for who may be admitted to Section 8, Section 202, and Section 811 assisted housing, as well as how occupancy standards are determined. Tenants and applicants who believe an eligibility or occupancy decision was made incorrectly may find it useful to reference the underlying CFR citations listed in this provision—such as 24 CFR part 5, subpart D, or the applicable subparts of 24 CFR part 891—when seeking clarification from a property manager or housing authority. Tenant-rights organizations and HUD's own complaint processes are available as general resources for those who want to better understand how these regulations apply to a particular housing situation.
