Proposed rule revises demolition/disposition regulations

HUD recently issued a proposed rule -- "Demolition or Disposition of Public Housing Projects" -- that "revises HUD's regulations governing demolition or disposition of public housing projects. This rule establishes the general and specific requirements for HUD approval of demolition or disposition applications, relocation of residents, resident participation in the form of consultation and opportunity to purchase a public housing project, the replacement of units, and a new authority for a public housing agency (PHA) to demolish a small number of its units without a formal application under certain circumstances, referred to as 'de minimis' demolition. This proposed rule seeks comments on these provisions as well as any other provision of this proposed rule."

Comment are due on the proposed rule by February 14, 2005. The rule may be accessed via HUDclips.org by clicking here.
