In the case of an overcrowded unit, if the Owner does not have any suitable units or if no vacancy of a suitable unit occurs within a reasonable time, HUD (or the PHA) will assist the Family in finding a suitable dwelling unit and require the Family to move to such a unit as soon as possible. The Owner may receive housing assistance payments for the vacated unit if he complies with the requirements of § 884.106(c)(1).","path":["Title 24—Housing and Urban Development","Subtitle B—Regulations Relating to Housing and Urban Development","CHAPTER VIII—OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR HOUSING-FEDERAL HOUSING COMMISSIONER, DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT (SECTION 8 HOUSING ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, SECTION 202 DIRECT LOAN PROGRAM, SECTION 202 SUPPORTIVE HOUSING FOR THE ELDERLY PROGRAM AND SECTION 811 SUPPORTIVE HOUSING FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES PROGRAM)","PART 884—SECTION 8 HOUSING ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS PROGRAM, NEW CONSTRUCTION SET-ASIDE FOR SECTION 515 RURAL RENTAL HOUSING PROJECTS","Subpart B—Project Development and Operation"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-24.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:24:55Z","sha256":"aec6eaac6881f4a2aeef6be4d68508dced6782b32f1e4e345f0a98ab1119f908","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/24-cfr-884.218","next":"us/24-cfr-884.220"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
