Title 42 › CHAPTER 9 — HOUSING OF PERSONS ENGAGED IN NATIONAL DEFENSE › SUBCHAPTER VII — DISPOSAL OF WAR AND VETERANS’ HOUSING › § 1582
The rules in section 1553 do not apply to temporary housing when one of these things happens. The rule is waived under section 1575 or 1581; the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development transfers the housing to the Army, Navy, or Air Force under section 1524; HUD disposes of the housing under subchapter II or IV for long‑term housing or other uses without requiring removal and the local city or county adopts a resolution saying the structures are acceptable (either as‑is or if certain physical conditions are met); or HUD disposed or gave up the housing before April 20, 1950, and the local governing body adopted the same kind of resolution by December 31, 1950. Any conditions a local government sets do not change the disposal and the United States does not promise to enforce those conditions. Housing disposed for housing use under this rule is treated as having been completed after June 30, 1947 for the veteran preference rules in section 4 of the Housing and Rent Act of 1947. Contract obligations to remove housing disposed before April 20, 1950 are dropped once the local resolution is filed with HUD.
