This case concerns two programs of the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD). One is the Section
236 program of the National Housing Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1715z-1,
pursuant to which the Federal Housing Administration (FHA)
insures loans to private developers in exchange for their
commitment to provide low-income housing. As part of the
Section 236 program, HUD also provides interest-reduction
payments to FHA-approved mortgagees on behalf of the
mortgagors. In exchange for these benefits, the mortgagor
executes a Regulatory Agreement that requires the mortgagor to
operate the project in accordance with various programmatic and
contractual obligations. The second program is the Section 8
Housing Choice Voucher Program of the United States Housing
Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1437f. Pursuant to Section 8, HUD subsidizes
low-income tenants’ rents by making rental subsidy payments
to participating project owners on behalf of those tenants. In
exchange for this financial assistance, project owners execute a
Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contract that requires, inter
alia, owners to provide HUD and affected tenants at least one
year’s notice before terminating the contract.
