Mandatory Conversion is the conversion of
public housing residents to Section-8. If it costs less to give
the residents a Section 8 voucher, rather than maintain the low
rent public housing building under ACC, the building is shut down
and the residents are provided Section 8. Mandatory conversion was
implemented under Section 202 of Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions
and Appropriations Act of 1996.
Section 202 was rescinded under the Quality housing Work Results
Act and substituted with new legislation which covered similar actions:
Section 202 is now only applicable to those HA's with approved
conversion plans that are still in the process of implementation.
SAC is currently reviewing the implementation and development of
previously approved programs, and will be contacting HA's before
October 1, 2006, to discuss their progress. If you have any questions
please contact SAC Management:
