PART III: DWELLING UNITS 17-III.A. OVERVIEW This part identifies the special housing quality standards that apply to the PBV program, housing accessibility for persons with disabilities, and special procedures for conducting housing quality standards inspections. 17-III.B. HOUSING QUALITY STANDARDS [24 CFR 983.101] The housing quality standards (HQS) for the tenant-based program, including those for special housing types, generally apply to the PBV program. HQS requirements for shared housing, manufactured home space rental, and the homeownership option do not apply because these housing types are not assisted under the PBV program. The physical condition standards at 24 CFR 5.703 do not apply to the PBV program. Lead-based Paint [24 CFR 983.101(c)] The lead-based paint requirements for the tenant-based voucher program do not apply to the PBV program. Instead, The Lead-based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act (42 U.S.C. 4821-4846), the Residential Lead-based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 4851-4856), and implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 3 5, subparts A, B, H, and R, apply to the PBV program. 17-III.C. HOUSING ACCESSIBILITY FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES The housing must comply with program accessibility requirements of section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794) and implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 8. SARA must ensure that the percentage of accessible dwelling units complies with the requirements of section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794), as implemented by HUD's regulations at 24 CFR 8, subpart C. Housing first occupied after March 13,1991, must comply with design and construction requirements of the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 and implementing regulations at 24 CFR 100.205, as applicable. (24 CFR 983.102) 17-III.D. INSPECTING UNITS Pre-selection Inspection [24 CFR 983.103(a)] SARA will examine the proposed site before the proposal selection date. If the units to be assisted already exist, SARA must inspect all the units before the proposal selection date, and must determine whether the units substantially comply with HQS. To qualify as existing housing, units must substantially comply with HQS on the proposal selection date. However, SARA may not execute the HAP contract until the units fully comply with HQS. Pre-HAP Contract Inspections [24 CFR 983.103(b)] SARA will inspect each contract unit before execution of the HAP contract. SARA may not enter into a HAP contract covering a unit until the unit fully complies with HQS. o~ro2~12 Page 17-10
