Recognizing that low-income tenants might lack the ability
to assert their right to “a decent place to live” against owners,
Congress made PHAs responsible for enforcing compliance
with HAP contracts. The statutory structure thus assigns HAP
contracts a dual role: they prescribe liveable conditions for
housing projects, and they enable PHAs to enforce compli-
ance with those conditions. See, e.g., 42 U.S.C.
§ 1437f(o)(8)(A), (C)-(D); 24 C.F.R. § 982.405 (PHA inspec-
tions to ensure compliance with housing quality standards);
id. § 982.404(a)(2) (PHA required to take “prompt and vigor-
ous action” to enforce housing quality standards; PHA reme-
dies for noncompliance include suspension or reduction of
housing assistance payments and termination of HAP con-
tract); id. § 982.453(b) (PHA remedies for any breach of HAP
contract include reduction or termination of housing assis-
tance payments and termination of HAP contract).
