Summary
AI summary — grounded in the notice text
This notice explains how Public Housing Agencies must request HUD approval before developing general occupancy public housing units for families with children in a high-rise elevator structure, since such development is generally prohibited unless there is no practical alternative. PHAs must submit a written request to HUD's Office of Urban Revitalization describing the project, demonstrating need, justifying the site, and discussing alternatives before submitting a Development Proposal. HUD will review the request and respond in writing with its determination, and PHAs must still obtain approval of their full Development Proposal before construction or spending public housing funds.
