§ 968.215 - Resident and homebuyer participation.

A PHA shall establish a Partnership Process, as defined in §968.105, to develop, implement and monitor the CIAP. Before submission of the CIAP application, a PHA shall consult with the residents, the resident organization, or the resident management corporation (see part 964, subpart C of this chapter) (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. A PHA 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. A PHA shall respond in writing to the residents, indicating its acceptance or rejection of resident recommendations, consistent with HUD requirements and the PHA's own determination of efficiency, economy, and need. After HUD approval of the modernization program, a PHA shall inform the residents of the approved work items and its progress during implementation. Where HUD does not approve the modernization program, a PHA shall so inform the residents.
