Such penalties may include— in the case of a public housing agency, or tribe or tribally designated housing entity, withholding of assistance from the Department until compliance is achieved; and in the case of recipients of housing and community development assistance— enforcement actions through the Departmental Enforcement Center of the Department of Housing and Urban Development; withholding future assistance payments; a flag in the Active Partners Performance System; and rejection of any further applications for assistance from the Department until compliance is achieved.
