Subpart M - Disposition or Demolition of Projects |
§ 950.921 - Purpose and applicability.
-
(a)
Purpose. This subpart M sets forth requirements for HUD approval of an IHA's application to dispose of or demolish (in whole or in part) IHA-owned projects assisted under the Act. The rules and procedures contained in 24 CFR part 85 are inapplicable.(b)
Applicability. (1)Type of projects. This subpart M applies to any Indian housing project that is owned by an IHA and is subject to an ACC under section 5 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437c), including rental, Turnkey III, or Mutual Help housing. This subpart M does not apply to:(i) IHA-owned Section 8 housing or housing leased under section 10(c) or section 23 of the Act (42 U.S.C. 1437h(c) or 1437u);
(ii) Demolition or disposition before the end of the initial operating period (EIOP), as determined under the ACC, of property acquired incident to the development of an Indian housing project (however, this exception does not apply to units occupied or available for occupancy by Indian housing tenants before EIOP);
(iii) Conveyance of Indian housing for the purpose of providing homeownership opportunities for low-income families under section 21 of the Act, the Turnkey III or Mutual Help Homeownership Opportunity programs, or any other homeownership programs established under sections 5(h) and 6(c)(4)(D) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 1437c(h), 1437d(c)(4)(3)) or titles II and III of the Act (42 U.S.C. 1437aa, 1437aaa).
(iv) Leasing of dwelling or nondwelling space incident to the normal operation of the project for Indian housing purposes, as permitted by the ACC;
(v) Easements, rights-of-way, and transfers of utility systems incident to the normal operation of the project for Indian housing purposes, as permitted by the ACC;
(vi) Reconfiguration of the interior space of buildings (e.g., moving or removing interior walls to change the design, sizes, or number of units) without demolition; and
(vii) A whole or partial taking by a public or quasi-public entity through the exercise of its power of eminent domain.
(2) [Reserved].
(c)
Type of actions. Any action by an IHA to dispose of or demolish an Indian housing project or a portion of an Indian housing project is subject to the requirements of this subpart M. Until such time as HUD approval may be obtained, the IHA may not take any action to dispose of or demolish an Indian housing project or portion of an Indian housing project, and the IHA shall continue to meet its ACC obligations to maintain and operate the property as housing for low-income families. This does not mean that HUD approval under this subpart M is required for planning activities, analysis, or consultations, such as project viability studies, comprehensive modernization planning, or comprehensive occupancy planning.
