42 U.S.C. § 1437f(t)(1)(B) (emphasis added). The Secretary has interpreted the italicized language as giving eligible tenants a “right to remain,” enforceable against owners who would seek to evict them, so long as the tenants pay their portion of the rent as defined in Section 8. Every federal court to consider the question to date has agreed with the Secretary’s construction of 42 U.S.C. § 1437f(t)(1)(B). See Feemster v. BSA Ltd. P’ship, 548 F.3d 1063 (D.C.Cir.2008), affg in relevant part, 471 F.Supp.2d 87 (D.D.C.2007); Barrientos v. 1801-1825 Morton, LLC, No. 06-6437, 2007 WL 7213974 (C.D.Cal. Sept. 11, 2007), aff'd on other grounds, 583 F.3d 1197 (9th Cir.2009); Estevez v. Cosmopolitan Assocs. LLC, No. 05CR-4318, 2005 WL 3164146 (E.D.N.Y. Nov. 28, 2005); Jeanty v.
