Section 18

Section 18 Demolition & Disposition

The Section 18 program allows Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) to demolish or dispose of aging or inefficient public housing properties, paving the way for future redevelopment or transfer to a new ownership entity, including PHA-affiliated nonprofits. D3G assists PHAs in determining eligibility justification and navigating HUD’s approval process for a smooth transition.

Our consulting can help with:

  • Section 18 application preparation (including the completion of HUD forms 52860, 52860-A, and 52860-B, as applicable) and assistance with submission via PIC
  • Feasibility analysis and justification determination (physical obsolescence, location issues, infeasible operations, etc.)
  • Coordination of Physical Needs Assessments (PNA) and Environmental Review (ER) processes
  • Ensuring compliance with HUD regulatory requirements
