§ 950.632 - Resident and homebuyer participation.

An IHA shall establish a Partnership Process, as defined in § 950.102, to develop, implement, and monitor the CIAP. Before submission of the CIAP application, an IHA shall consult with the residents, the resident organization, or the resident management corporation (see subpart O of this part) (herein referred to as the resident) of the development(s) being proposed for modernization, regarding its intent to submit an application and to solicit resident comments. An IHA shall give residents a reasonable opportunity to present their views on the proposed modernization and alternatives to it and shall give full and serious consideration to resident recommendations. An IHA shall respond in writing to the residents, indicating its acceptance or rejection of resident recommendations, consistent with HUD requirements and the IHA's own determination of efficiency, economy, and need. After HUD approval of the modernization program, an IHA shall inform the residents of the approved work items and its progress during implementation. Where HUD does not approve the modernization program, an IHA shall so inform the residents.
