Summary

Certain protections can never be waived for a jurisdiction that takes part in this program. The rule bars waiving five types of protections: who qualifies as low‑income, rules about income limits and how help is targeted, rules about rent paid by public housing families, limits on how much rent voucher families must pay, and rules about tearing down or selling public housing. A participating jurisdiction must spend the money it gets under the program following the jurisdiction’s plan that the Secretary has approved.
