- (a) HUD may conduct pre-award reviews to determine whether programs or activities submitted for HUD assistance are consistent with the age distinctions set forth at [§ 146.13(b)](/cfr/24/146.13.md?p=b).
- (b) If a pre-award review indicates that the proposed programs or activities are not consistent with the age distinctions set forth at [§ 146.13(b)](/cfr/24/146.13.md?p=b), the application will be returned to the applicant for additional information or clarification or for correction consistent with this part.
- (c) HUD may conduct compliance reviews of recipients that will enable it to investigate and correct violations of this part. HUD may conduct these reviews even in the absence of a complaint against a recipient. The review may be as comprehensive as necessary for HUD to determine whether a violation has occurred.
- (d) If a compliance review indicates a violation, HUD will attempt to achieve voluntary compliance. If voluntary compliance cannot be achieved, HUD may begin enforcement procedures as provided in [§ 146.39](/cfr/24/146.39.md).
