(a)During a HOME-assisted rental unit's period of affordability, the participating jurisdiction may permit an owner to sell or otherwise convey a HOME-assisted rental unit to an existing tenant in accordance with the requirements of § 92.254. However, refusal by the tenant to purchase the housing does not constitute good cause for termination of tenancy or failure to renew the lease. The participating jurisdiction may not permit the use of a lease-purchase program under this section.
(b)If no additional HOME funds are used to enable the tenants to become homeowners, the homeownership units are subject to a period of affordability equal to the remaining period of affordability if the units continued as rental units. The participating jurisdiction must impose resale requirements that comply with § 92.254(a) for the required period of affordability. The period of affordability and resale restrictions must be applied to the property regardless of the income of the family at purchase. If the tenant's family is no longer low-income at the time of the purchase, then the family must occupy the housing as a principal residence in accordance with § 92.254(a)(3) and must agree to the imposition of resale restrictions on the housing, in accordance with § 92.254(a)(5), for the period of affordability specified in this paragraph (b).
(c)If additional HOME funds are used to directly assist the tenants to become homeowners, the period of affordability is the remaining period of affordability if the unit had remained a rental unit or the required period under § 92.254(a)(4) for the amount of direct homeownership assistance provided, whichever is longer. No additional HOME funds may be provided to an in-place tenant to become a homebuyer if the tenant's family is no longer low-income at the time of the purchase. \[90 FR 886, Jan. 6, 2025\]
