Common use of Assignability of HAP Contract Clause in Contracts

Assignability of HAP Contract. HUD may assign the HAP Contract at any time to a public housing agency (PHA) for the purpose of PHA administration of the HAP Contract to the extent permitted under any Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) between HUD and the PHA. Unless and until HUD assigns the HAP Contract to a PHA, HUD shall be the Contract Administrator (CA) and, in that capacity, a party to the HAP Contract. Upon any assignment of the HAP Contract by HUD to a PHA, the PHA shall assume all the contractual obligations of HUD under the HAP Contract (or of any PHA to which HUD had previously assigned the HAP Contract) and shall replace HUD (or any PHA to which HUD had previously assigned the HAP Contract) as the CA and as a party to the HAP Contract during the ACC term.
