Subchapter I. GENERAL PROGRAM OF ASSISTED HOUSING
Section 1437e. Designated housing for elderly and disabled families
42 U.S. Code § 1437e. Designated housing for elderly and disabled families
Except as provided in section 1437n(e)(1)(B) [1] of this title, any tenant who is lawfully residing in a dwelling unit in a public housing project may not be evicted or otherwise required to vacate such unit because of the designation of the project (or portion of a project) pursuant to this section or because of any action taken by the Secretary or any public housing agency pursuant to this section.
(c) Relocation assistanceA public housing agency that designates any existing project or building, or portion thereof, for occupancy as provided under subsection (a)(1) shall provide, to each person and family who agrees to be relocated in connection with such designation—
notice of the designation and an explanation of available relocation benefits, as soon as is practicable for the agency and the person or family;
access to comparable housing (including appropriate services and design features), which may include tenant-based rental assistance under section 1437f of this title, at a rental rate paid by the tenant that is comparable to that applicable to the unit from which the person or family has vacated; and
payment of actual, reasonable moving expenses.
(d) Required planA plan under this subsection for designating a project (or portion of a project) for occupancy under subsection (a)(1) is a plan, prepared by the public housing agency for the project and submitted to the Secretary, that—
(1) establishes that the designation of the project is necessary—
to achieve the housing goals for the jurisdiction under the comprehensive housing affordability strategy under section 12705 of this title; and
to meet the housing needs of the low-income population of the jurisdiction; and
(2) includes a description of—
the project (or portion of a project) to be designated;
the types of tenants for which the project is to be designated;
any supportive services to be provided to tenants of the designated project (or portion);
how the design and related facilities (as such term is defined in section 1701q(d)(8) 1 of title 12) of the project accommodate the special environmental needs of the intended occupants; and
any plans to secure additional resources or housing assistance to provide assistance to families that may have been housed if occupancy in the project were not restricted pursuant to this section.
For purposes of this subsection, the term “supportive services” means services designed to meet the special needs of residents.
(3) Standards for determination of noncomplianceThe Secretary may determine that a plan does not comply with the requirements under subsection (d) only if—
the plan is incomplete in significant matters required under such subsection; or
there is evidence available to the Secretary that challenges, in a substantial manner, any information provided in the plan.
A plan under subsection (d) shall be in effect for purposes of this section during the 5-yearperiod that begins upon notification under subsection (e)(1) of the public housing agency that the plan complies with the requirements under subsection (d).
Upon the expiration of the 5-yearperiod under paragraph (1) or any 2-year period under this paragraph, an agency may extend the effectiveness of the designation and plan for an additional 2-year period (that begins upon such expiration) by submitting to the Secretary any information needed to update the plan. The Secretary may not limit the number of times a public housing agency extends the effectiveness of a designation and plan under this paragraph.
