FISHER, Circuit Judge.
        In this appeal, we must decide whether the enhanced
voucher provision of the United States Housing Act of 1937,
42 U.S.C. § 1437f(t), requires property owners to continuously
renew enhanced-voucher tenancies. Theodore Hayes and
Aqeela Fogle (the Hayes family) are a low-income family
whose rent is subsidized by enhanced voucher assistance. Their
eligibility to receive enhanced vouchers is contingent upon
their continued tenancy in a unit currently owned by Philip E.
Harvey. Toward the end of their most recent lease term, Harvey
notified the Hayes family that he would not renew their lease.
The Hayes family refused to vacate the premises, arguing that
as enhanced-voucher tenants, they have an enforceable “right
to remain” in their unit as long as it is offered for rental
housing. The District Court disagreed and granted Harvey’s
motion for summary judgment. Because we conclude that the
enhanced voucher provision does not obligate property owners
to renew enhanced-voucher tenancies after the initial lease
term, we will affirm.
