and appendix A, Subpart A, §24.2(a)(6)(ix). Can the displaced occupant of a public housing unit be offered other public housing units as comparable replacement housing?
Yes. A person displaced from a public housing project may be offered a comparable public housing unit as a replacement dwelling or they may be offered a unit subsidized under another housing program, e.g., Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher. Only if no subsidized housing is available should a subsidized tenant be offered a non-subsidized unit as a comparable. A person who is displaced from subsidized housing and placed in private-market housing will potentially lose the security of affordable housing after the 42-month Uniform Act payment is exhausted. While the Uniform Act replacement housing payment softens the blow of a move, after the payment is exhausted a formerly-subsidized tenant may not be able or eligible to return to subsidized housing, either because no subsidized units are available or because their income exceeds the admission income limits. For this reason, every effort should be made to find another subsidized unit as replacement housing so that the tenant will continue r
