head, $350,000,000 shall be available for use in conjunction with

properties that are eligible for assistance under the Low-Income

Housing Preservation and Resident Homeownership Act of 1990

(LIHPRHA) (see Short Title note above) or the Emergency Low Income

Housing Preservation Act of 1987 (ELIHPA) (see Codification note

set out preceding this section), of which $75,000,000 shall be

available for obligation until March 1, 1997 for projects (1) that

are subject to a repayment or settlement agreement that was

executed between the owner and the Secretary prior to September 1,

1995; (2) whose submissions were delayed as a result of their

location in areas that were designated as a Federal disaster area

in a Presidential Disaster Declaration; or (3) whose processing

was, in fact or in practical effect, suspended, deferred, or

interrupted for a period of twelve months or more because of

differing interpretations, by the Secretary and an owner or by the

Secretary and a State or local rent regulatory agency, concerning

the timing of filing eligibility or the effect of a presumptively

applicable State or local rent control law or regulation on the

determination of preservation value under section 213 of LIHPRHA,

as amended (12 U.S.C. 4103), if the owner of such project filed

notice of intent to extend the low-income affordability

restrictions of the housing, or transfer to a qualified purchaser

who would extend such restrictions, on or before November 1, 1993;

and of which, up to $100,000,000 may be used for rental assistance

to prevent displacement of families residing in projects whose

owners prepay their mortgages; and the balance of which shall be

available from the effective date of this Act (Sept. 26, 1996) for

sales to preferred priority purchasers: Provided further, That with

the exception of projects described in clauses (1), (2), or (3) of

the preceding proviso, the Secretary shall, notwithstanding any

other provision of law, suspend further processing of preservation

applications which have not heretofore received approval of a plan

of action: Provided further, That $150,000,000 of amounts

recaptured from interest reduction payment contracts for section

236 (12 U.S.C. 1715z-1) projects whose owners prepay their

mortgages during fiscal year 1997 shall be rescinded: Provided

further, That an owner of eligible low-income housing may prepay

the mortgage or request voluntary termination of a mortgage

insurance contract, so long as said owner agrees not to raise rents

for sixty days after such prepayment: Provided further, That such

developments have been determined to have preservation equity at

least equal to the lesser of $5,000 per unit or $500,000 per

project or the equivalent of eight times the most recently

published monthly fair market rent for the area in which the

project is located as the appropriate unit size for all of the

units in the eligible project: Provided further, That the Secretary

may modify the regulatory agreement to permit owners and priority

purchasers to retain rental income in excess of the basic rental

charge in projects assisted under section 236 of the National

Housing Act, for the purpose of preserving the low- and

moderate-income character of the housing: Provided further, That

eligible low-income housing shall include properties meeting the

requirements of this paragraph with mortgages that are held by a

State agency as a result of a sale by the Secretary without

insurance, which immediately before the sale would have been

eligible low-income housing under LIHPRHA: Provided further, That

notwithstanding any other provision of law, subject to the

availability of appropriated funds, each low-income family, and

moderate-income family who is elderly or disabled or is residing in

a low-vacancy area, residing in the housing on the date of

prepayment or voluntary termination, and whose rent, as a result of

a rent increase occurring no later than one year after the date of

the prepayment, exceeds 30 percent of adjusted income, shall be

offered tenant-based assistance in accordance with section 8 (42

U.S.C. 1437f) or any successor program, under which the family

shall pay no less for rent than it paid on such date: Provided

further, That any family receiving tenant-based assistance under

the preceding proviso may elect (1) to remain in the unit of the

housing and if the rent exceeds the fair market rent or payment

standard, as applicable, the rent shall be deemed to be the

applicable standard, so long as the administering public housing

agency finds that the rent is reasonable in comparison with rents

charged for comparable unassisted housing units in the market or

(2) to move from the housing and the rent will be subject to the

fair market rent of the payment standard, as applicable, under

existing program rules and procedures: Provided further, That the

tenant-based assistance made available under the preceding two

provisos are in lieu of benefits provided in subsections (sic)

223(b), (c), and (d) of the Low-Income Housing Preservation and

Resident Homeownership Act of 1990 (12 U.S.C. 4113(b), (c), (d)):

Provided further, That any sales shall be funded using the capital

grant available under section 220(d)(3)(A) of LIHPRHA (12 U.S.C.

4110(d)(3)(A)): Provided further, That any extensions shall be

funded using a non-interest-bearing capital (direct) loan by the

Secretary not in excess of the amount of the cost of rehabilitation

approved in the plan of action plus 65 percent of the property's

preservation equity and under such other terms and conditions as

the Secretary may prescribe: Provided further, That any capital

grant shall be limited to seven times, and any capital loan limited

to six times, the annual fair market rent for the project, as

determined using the fair market rent for fiscal year 1997 for the

area in which the project is located, using the appropriate

apartment sizes and mix in the eligible project, except where, upon

the request of a priority purchaser, the Secretary determines that

a greater amount is necessary and appropriate to preserve

low-income housing: Provided further, That section 241(f) of the

National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1715z-6(f)) is repealed and

insurance under such section shall not be offered as an incentive

under LIHPRHA and ELIHPA: Provided further, That up to $10,000,000

of the amount of $350,000,000 made available by a preceding proviso

in this paragraph may be used at the discretion of the Secretary to

reimburse owners of eligible properties for which plans of action

were submitted prior to the effective date of this Act (Sept. 26,

1996), but were not executed for lack of available funds, with such

reimbursement available only for documented costs directly

applicable to the preparation of the plan of action as determined

by the Secretary, and shall be made available on terms and

conditions to be established by the Secretary: Provided further,

That, notwithstanding any other provision of law, a priority

purchaser may utilize assistance under the HOME Investment

Partnerships Act (42 U.S.C. 12721 et seq.) or the Low Income

Housing Tax Credit (see 26 U.S.C. 42): Provided further, That

projects with approved plans of action which exceed the limitations

on eligibility for funding imposed by this Act may submit revised

plans of action which conform to these limitations by March 1,

1997, and retain the priority for funding otherwise applicable from

the original date of approval of their plan of action, subject to

securing any additional necessary funding commitments by August 1,

1997.''

section 236 (12 U.S.C. 1715z-1) projects whose owners prepay their

Provided further, That with respect to amounts made available by

this paragraph, after August 15, 1996, if the Secretary determines

that the demand for funding may exceed amounts available for such

funding, the Secretary (1) may determine priorities for

distributing available funds, including giving priority funding to

tenants displaced due to mortgage prepayment and to projects that

have not yet been funded but which have approved plans of action;

and (2) may impose a temporary moratorium on applications by

potential recipients of such funding: Provided further, That an

owner of eligible low-income housing may prepay the mortgage or

request voluntary termination of a mortgage insurance contract, so

long as said owner agrees not to raise rents for sixty days after

such prepayment: Provided further, That an owner of eligible

low-income housing who has not timely filed a second notice under

section 216(d) (12 U.S.C. 4106(d)) prior to the effective date of

this Act (Apr. 26, 1996) may file such notice by April 15, 1996:

Provided further, That such developments have been determined to

have preservation equity at least equal to the lesser of $5,000 per

unit or $500,000 per project or the equivalent of eight times the

most recently published fair market rent for the area in which the

project is located as the appropriate unit size for all of the

units in the eligible project: Provided further, That the Secretary

may modify the regulatory agreement to permit owners and priority

purchasers to retain rental income in excess of the basic rental

charge in projects assisted under section 236 of the National

Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1715z-1), for the purpose of preserving the

low and moderate income character of the housing: Provided further,

That the Secretary may give priority to funding and processing the

following projects provided that the funding is obligated not later

than September 15, 1996: (1) projects with approved plans of action

to retain the housing that file a modified plan of action no later

than August 15, 1996 to transfer the housing; (2) projects with

approved plans of action that are subject to a repayment or

settlement agreement that was executed between the owner and the

Secretary prior to September 1, 1995; (3) projects for which

submissions were delayed as a result of their location in areas

that were designated as a Federal disaster area in a Presidential

Disaster Declaration; and (4) projects whose processing was, in

fact, or in practical effect, suspended, deferred, or interrupted

for a period of nine months or more because of differing

interpretations, by the Secretary and an owner concerning the time

of the ability of an uninsured section 236 (12 U.S.C. 1715z-1)

property to prepay or by the Secretary and a State or local rent

regulatory agency, concerning the effect of a presumptively

applicable State or local rent control law or regulation on the

determination of preservation value under section 213 of LIHPRHA,

as amended (12 U.S.C. 4103), if the owner of such project filed

notice of intent to extend the low-income affordability

restrictions of the housing, or transfer to a qualified purchaser

who would extend such restrictions, on or before November 1, 1993:

Provided further, That eligible low-income housing shall include

properties meeting the requirements of this paragraph with

mortgages that are held by a State agency as a result of a sale by

the Secretary without insurance, which immediately before the sale

would have been eligible low-income housing under LIHPRHA: Provided

further, That notwithstanding any other provision of law, subject

to the availability of appropriated funds, each unassisted

low-income family residing in the housing on the date of prepayment

or voluntary termination, and whose rent, as a result of a rent

increase occurring no later than one year after the date of the

prepayment, exceeds 30 percent of adjusted income, shall be offered

tenant-based assistance in accordance with section 8 (42 U.S.C.

1437f) or any successor program, under which the family shall pay

no less for rent than it paid on such date: Provided further, That

any family receiving tenant-based assistance under the preceding

proviso may elect (1) to remain in the unit of the housing and if

the rent exceeds the fair market rent or payment standard, as

applicable, the rent shall be deemed to be the applicable standard,

so long as the administering public housing agency finds that the

rent is reasonable in comparison with rents charged for comparable

unassisted housing units in the market or (2) to move from the

housing and the rent will be subject to the fair market rent of the

payment standard, as applicable, under existing program rules and

procedures: Provided further, That rents and rent increases for

tenants of projects for which plans of action are funded under

section 220(d)(3)(B) of LIHPRHA (12 U.S.C. 4110(d)(3)(B)) shall be

governed in accordance with the requirements of the program under

which the first mortgage is insured or made (sections 236 or

221(d)(3) BMIR (12 U.S.C. 1715z-1, 4111(d)(3)), as appropriate):

Provided further, That the immediately foregoing proviso shall

apply hereafter to projects for which plans of action are to be

funded under such section 220(d)(3)(B) (12 U.S.C. 4110(d)(3)(B)),

and shall apply to any project that has been funded under such

section starting one year after the date that such project was

Secretary to reimburse owners of eligible properties for which

plans of action were submitted prior to the effective date of this

directly applicable to the preparation of the plan of action as

determined by the Secretary, and shall be made available on terms

and conditions to be established by the Secretary: Provided

further, That, notwithstanding any other provision of law,

Sec. 4103. Appraisal and preservation value of eligible low-income

housing

-STATUTE-

(a) Appraisal

Upon receiving notice of intent regarding an eligible low-income

housing project indicating an intent to extend the low-income

affordability restrictions under section 4109 of this title or

transfer the housing under section 4110 of this title, the

Secretary shall provide for determination of the preservation value

of the housing, as follows:

(1) Appraisers

The preservation value shall be determined by 2 independent

appraisers, one of whom shall be selected by the Secretary and

one of whom shall be selected by the owner. The appraisals shall

be conducted not later than 4 months after filing the notice of

intent under section 4102 of this title, and the owner shall

submit to the Secretary the appraisal made by the owner's

selected appraiser not later than 90 days after receipt of the

notice under paragraph (2). If the 2 appraisers fail to agree on

the preservation value, and the Secretary and the owner also fail

to agree on the preservation value, the Secretary and the owner

shall jointly select and jointly compensate a third appraiser,

whose appraisal shall be binding on the parties.

(2) Notice

Not later than 30 days after the filing of a notice of intent

to seek incentives under section 4109 of this title or transfer

the property under section 4110 of this title, the Secretary

shall provide written notice to the owner filing the notice of

intent of -

(A) the need for the owner to acquire an appraisal of the

property under paragraph (1);

(B) the rules and guidelines for such appraisals;

paragraph (1);

(D) the need for an appraiser retained by the Secretary to

inspect the housing and project financial records; and

(E) any delegation to the appropriate State agency by the

Secretary of responsibilities regarding the appraisal.

(3) Timeliness

The Secretary may approve a plan of action to receive

incentives under section 4109 or 4110 of this title only based

upon an appraisal conducted in accordance with this subsection

that is not more than 30 months old.

(b) Preservation value

For purposes of this subchapter, the preservation value of

eligible low-income housing appraised under this section shall be -

(1) for purposes of extending the low-income affordability

restrictions and receiving incentives under section 4109 of this

title, the fair market value of the property based on the highest

and best use of the property as residential rental housing; and

(2) for purposes of transferring the property under section

4110 or 4111 of this title, the fair market value of the housing

based on the highest and best use of the property.

The Secretary shall provide written guidelines for appraisals of

preservation value, which shall assume repayment of the existing

federally assisted mortgage, termination of the existing low-income

affordability restrictions, simultaneous termination of any Federal

rental assistance, and costs of compliance with any State or local

laws of general applicability. The guidelines may permit reliance

upon assessments of rehabilitation needs and other conversion costs

determined by an appropriate State agency, as determined by the

Secretary. The guidelines shall instruct the appraiser to use the

greater of actual project operating expenses at the time of the

appraisal (based on the average of the actual project operating

expenses during the preceding 3 years) or projected operating

expenses after conversion in determining preservation value. The

guidelines established by the Secretary shall not be inconsistent

with customary appraisal standards. The guidelines shall also meet

the following requirements:

(1) Residential rental value

In the case of preservation value determined under subsection

(b)(1) of this section, the guidelines shall assume conversion of

the housing to market-rate rental housing and shall establish

methods for (A) determining rehabilitation expenditures that

would be necessary to bring the housing up to quality standards

required to attract and sustain a market rate tenancy upon

conversion, and (B) assessing other costs that the owner could

reasonably be expected to incur if the owner converted the

property to market-rate multifamily rental housing.

(2) Highest and best use value

In the case of preservation value determined under subsection

(b)(2) of this section, the guidelines shall assume conversion of

the housing to highest and best use for the property and shall

establish methods for (A) determining any rehabilitation

expenditures that would be necessary to convert the housing to

such use, and (B) assessing other costs that the owner could

reasonably be expected to incur if the owner converted the

property to its highest and best use.

Sec. 4105. Federal cost limits and limitations on plans of action

-STATUTE-

(a) Determination of relationship to Federal cost limits

(1) Initial determination

For each eligible low-income housing project appraised under

section 4103(a) of this title, the Secretary shall determine

whether the aggregate preservation rents for the project

determined under paragraph (1) or (2) of section 4104(b) of this

title exceed the amount determined by multiplying 120 percent of

the fair market rental (established under section 1437f(c) of

title 42) for the market area in which the housing is located by

the number of dwelling units in the project (according to

appropriate unit sizes).

(2) Relevant local markets

If the aggregate preservation rents for a project exceeds the

amount determined under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall

determine whether such aggregate rents exceed the amount

determined by multiplying 120 percent of the prevailing rents in

the relevant local market area in which the housing is located by

the number of units in the project (according to the appropriate

unit sizes). A relevant local market area shall be an area

geographically smaller than a market area established by the

Secretary under section 1437f(c)(1) of title 42 that is

identifiable as a distinct rental market area. The Secretary may

rely on the appraisal to determine the relevant local market

areas and prevailing rents in such local areas and any other

information the Secretary determines is appropriate.

(3) Effect

For purposes of this subchapter, the aggregate preservation

rents shall be considered to exceed the Federal cost limits under

this subsection only if the aggregate preservation rents exceed

the amount determined under paragraph (1) and the amount

determined under paragraph (2).

(b) Limitations on action pursuant to Federal cost limits

(1) Housing within Federal cost limits

If the aggregate preservation rents for an eligible low-income

housing project do not exceed the Federal cost limit, the owner

may not prepay the mortgage on the housing or terminate the

insurance contract with respect to the housing, except as

permitted under section 4114 of this title. The owner may -

(A) file a plan of action under section 4107 of this title to

receive incentives under section 4109 of this title; or

(B) file a second notice of intent under section 4106(d) of

this title indicating an intention to transfer the housing

under section 4110 of this title and take actions pursuant to

such section.

(2) Housing exceeding Federal cost limits

If the aggregate preservation rents for an eligible low-income

housing project exceed the Federal cost limit, the owner may -

(A) file a plan of action under section 4107 of this title to

receive incentives under section 4109 of this title if the

owner agrees to accept incentives under such sections in an

amount that shall not exceed the Federal cost limit;

(B) file a second notice of intent under section 4106(d) of

this title indicating an intention to transfer the housing

under section 4110 of this title and take actions pursuant to

such section if the owner agrees to transfer the housing at a

price that shall not exceed the Federal cost limit; or

-STATUTE-

(a) Approval

The Secretary may approve a plan of action that provides for

termination of the low-income affordability restrictions through

prepayment of the mortgage or voluntary termination of the mortgage

insurance contract only upon a written finding that -

(1) implementation of the plan of action will not -

(A) materially increase economic hardship for current

tenants, and will not in any event result in (i) a monthly

rental payment by any current tenant that exceeds 30 percent of

the monthly adjusted income of the tenant or an increase in the

monthly rental payment in any year that exceeds 10 percent

(whichever is lower), or (ii) in the case of a current tenant

who already pays more than such percentage, an increase in the

monthly rental payment in any year that exceeds the increase in

the Consumer Price Index or 10 percent (whichever is lower); or

(B) involuntarily displace current tenants (except for good

cause) where comparable and affordable housing is not readily

available determined without regard to the availability of

Federal housing assistance that would address any such hardship

or involuntary displacement; and

(2) the supply of vacant, comparable housing is sufficient to

ensure that such prepayment will not materially affect -

(A) the availability of decent, safe, and sanitary housing

affordable to low-income and very low-income families or

persons in the area that the housing could reasonably be

expected to serve;

(B) the ability of low-income and very low-income families or

persons to find affordable, decent, safe, and sanitary housing

near employment opportunities; or

within which the housing is located.

(b) Standards and procedure for written findings

(1) Standards

A written finding under subsection (a) of this section shall be

based on an analysis of the evidence considered by the Secretary

in reaching such finding and shall contain documentation of such

evidence.

(2) Procedure and criteria

The Secretary shall, by regulation, develop (A) a procedure for

determining whether the conditions under paragraphs (1) and (2)

of subsection (a) of this section exist, (B) requirements for

evidence on which such determinations are based, and (C) criteria

on which such determinations are based.

If the Secretary determines a plan of action to prepay a mortgage

or terminate an insurance contract fails to meet the requirements

of subsection (a) of this section, the Secretary shall disapprove

the plan, the notice of intent filed under section 4102 of this

title by such owner shall not be effective for purposes of this

subchapter, and the owner may, in order to receive incentives under

this subchapter, file a new notice of intent under such section.

-STATUTE-

(a) Agreements by Secretary

After approving a plan of action from an owner of eligible

low-income housing that includes the owner's plan to extend the

low-income affordability restrictions of the housing, the Secretary

shall, subject to the availability of appropriations for such

purpose, enter into such agreements as are necessary to enable the

owner to receive (for each year after the approval of the plan of

action) the annual authorized return for the housing determined

under section 4104(a) of this title, pay debt service on the

federally-assisted mortgage covering the housing, pay debt service

on any loan for rehabilitation of the housing, and meet project

operating expenses and establish adequate reserves. The Secretary

shall take into account the Federal cost limits under section

4105(a) of this title for the housing when providing incentives

under subsections (FOOTNOTE 1) (b)(2) and (3) of this section. The

Secretary shall take such actions as are necessary to ensure that

owners receive the annual authorized return for the housing

determined under section 4104(a) of this title during the period in

which rent increases are phased in as provided in section

4112(a)(2)(E) of this title, including (in order of preference) (1)

allowing the owner access to residual receipt accounts (pursuant to

subsection (b)(1) of this section), (2) deferring remittance of

excess rent payments, and (3) providing an increase in rents

permitted under an existing contract under section 1437f of title

42 (pursuant to subsection (b)(2) of this section).

(FOOTNOTE 1) So in original. Probably should be ''subsection''.

(b) Permissible incentives

Such agreements may include one or more of the following

incentives:

(1) Increased access to residual receipts accounts.

(2) Subject to the availability of amounts provided in

appropriations Acts -

(A) an increase in the rents permitted under an existing

contract under section 1437f of title 42, or

(B) additional assistance under section 1437f of title 42 or

an extension of any project-based assistance attached to the

housing; and

(3) An increase in the rents on units occupied by current

tenants as permitted under section 4112 of this title.

(4) Financing of capital improvements under section 201 of the

Housing and Community Development Amendments of 1978.

(5) Financing of capital improvements through provision of

insurance for a second mortgage under section 1715z-6 of this

title.

(6) In the case of housing defined in section 4119(1)(A)(iii)

of this title, redirection of the Interest Reduction Payment

subsidies to a second mortgage.

(7) Access by the owner to a portion of the preservation equity

in the housing through provision of insurance for a second

mortgage loan insured under section 1715z-6(f) (FOOTNOTE 2) of

this title or a non-insured mortgage loan approved by the

Secretary and the mortgagee.

(FOOTNOTE 2) See References in Text note below.

(8) Other incentives authorized in law.

With respect to any housing with a mortgage insured or otherwise

assisted pursuant to section 1715z-1 of this title, the provisions

of subsections (f) and (g) of section 1715z-1 of this title

notwithstanding, the fair market rental charge for each unit in

such housing may be increased in accordance with this subsection,

but the owner shall pay to the Secretary all rental charges

collected in excess of the basic rental charges, in an amount not

greater than the fair market rental charges as such charges would

have been established under section 1715z-1(f) of this title absent

the requirements of this paragraph.

purchaser shall submit a plan of action under section 4107 of this

title for any sale under this subsection, which shall include any

request for assistance under this section, upon the acceptance of

Subject to the availability of amounts approved in

appropriations Acts, the Secretary shall, for approvable plans of

action, provide assistance sufficient to enable qualified

purchasers (including all priority purchasers other than resident

program, cover the costs of training for the resident council,

homeownership counseling and training, the fees for the

nonprofit entity or public agency working with the resident

council and costs related to relocation of tenants who elect to

move.

(3) Incentives

For all qualified purchasers of housing under this

subsection, the Secretary may provide assistance for an

approved plan of action in the form of 1 or more of the

section.

(b) Right of first refusal to priority purchasers

(1) Duration and required sale

For the 12-month period beginning upon the receipt by the

Secretary of the second notice of intent under section 4106(d) of

this title with respect to such housing, the owner of the housing

may offer to sell and may sell the housing only to priority

purchasers. If, during such period, a priority purchaser makes a

bona fide offer to purchase the housing for a sale price not less

than the preservation value of the housing determined under

section 4103(b)(2) of this title, the Secretary shall require the

owner to sell the housing pursuant to such offer.

(2) Expression of interest

During the period under paragraph (1), priority purchasers

shall have the opportunity to submit written notice to the owner

and the Secretary stating their interest in acquiring the

housing. Such written notice shall be in such form and include

such information as the Secretary may prescribe.

(3) Information from Secretary

Not later than 30 days after receipt of any notice under

paragraph (2), the Secretary shall provide such purchaser with

information on the assistance available from the Federal

subsection, during the 3-month period beginning upon the expiration

of the 12-month period under subsection (b)(1) of this section, the

determined under section 4103(b)(2) of this title, the Secretary

shall require the owner to sell the housing pursuant to such offer.

(d) Assistance

(1) Federal cost limit

Subject to the availability of amounts approved in

appropriations Acts, the Secretary shall, for approvable plans of

action, provide to qualified purchasers assistance under section

prevailing rents in the relevant local market area in which the

housing is located by the number of units in the project

(according to appropriate unit sizes), and any other incentives

authorized under section 4109(b) of this title that would have

been provided to a qualified purchaser under section 4110 of this

title.

(2) Additional assistance

From amounts made available under section 4124(b) of this

title, the Secretary may make grants to assist in the completion

of sales and transfers under this section to any qualified

The Secretary shall assist any qualified purchaser of such

housing in securing funding and other assistance (including tax

and assessment reductions) from State and local governments to

facilitate a sale under this section.

Sec. 4112. Criteria for approval of plan of action involving

incentives

-STATUTE-

(a) In general

The Secretary may approve a plan of action for extension of the

low-income affordability restrictions on any eligible low-income

housing or transfer the housing to a qualified purchaser (other

than a resident council) only upon finding that -

(1) due diligence has been given to ensuring that the package

of incentives is, for the Federal Government, the least costly

alternative that is consistent with the full achievement of the

purposes of this title; (FOOTNOTE 1)

(FOOTNOTE 1) See References in Text note below.

(2) binding commitments have been made to ensure that -

(A) the housing will be retained as housing affordable for

very low-income families or persons, low-income families or

persons, and moderate-income families or persons for the

remaining useful life of such housing (as determined under

subsection (c) of this section);

(B) throughout such period, adequate expenditures will be

made for maintenance and operation of the housing and that the

project meets housing standards established by the Secretary

under subsection (d) of this section, as determined by

inspections conducted under such subsection by the Secretary;

(except for good cause);

(D) any increase in rent contributions for current tenants

will be to a level that does not exceed 30 percent of the

adjusted income of the tenant or the published existing fair

market rent for comparable housing established under section

1437f(c) of title 42, whichever is lower, except that the rent

contributions of any tenants occupying the housing at the time

of any increase may not be reduced by reason of this

subparagraph (except with respect to tenants receiving section

8 (42 U.S.C. 1437f) assistance in accordance with subparagraph

(E)(ii) of this paragraph);

(E)(i) any resulting increase in rents for current tenants

(except for increases made necessary by increased operating

costs) -

(I) shall be phased in equally over a period of not less

than 3 years, if such increase is 30 percent or more; and

(II) shall be limited to not more than 10 percent per year

if such increase is more than 10 percent but less than 30

percent; and

(ii) assistance under section 1437f of title 42 shall be

provided, to the extent available under appropriation Acts, if

necessary to mitigate any adverse effect on current

income-eligible very low- and low-income tenants; and (FOOTNOTE

(FOOTNOTE 2) So in original. Word ''and'' probably should not

appear.

(F)(i) rents for units becoming available to new tenants

shall be at levels approved by the Secretary that will ensure,

to the extent practicable, that the units will be available and

affordable to the same proportions of very low-income families

or persons, low-income families or persons, and moderate-income

families or persons (including families or persons whose

incomes are 95 percent or more of area median income) as

resided in the housing as of January 1, 1987 (based on the area

median income limits established by the Secretary in February

1987), or the date the plan of action is approved, whichever

date results in the highest proportion of very low-income

families, except that this limitation shall not prohibit a

higher proportion of very low-income families from occupying

the housing; and

(ii) in approving rents under this paragraph, the Secretary

shall take into account any additional incentives provided

under this subchapter;

(G) future rent adjustments shall be -

(i) made by applying an annual factor (to be determined by

the Secretary) to the portion of rent attributable to

operating expenses for the housing and, where the owner is a

priority purchaser, to the portion of rent attributable to

project oversight costs; and

(ii) subject to a procedure, established by the Secretary,

for owners to apply for rent increases not adequately

compensated by annual adjustment under clause (i), under

which the Secretary may increase rents in excess of the

amount determined under clause (i) only if the Secretary

determines such increases are necessary to reflect

extraordinary necessary expenses of owning and maintaining

the housing; and

(H) any savings from reductions in operating expenses due to

management efficiencies shall be deposited in project reserves

for replacement and the owner shall have periodic access to

such reserves, to the extent the Secretary determines that the

level of reserves is adequate and that the housing is

maintained in accordance with the standards established under

subsection (d) of this section; and

(3) no incentives under section 4109 of this title (other than

to purchasers under section 4110 of this title) may be provided

until the Secretary determines the project meets housing

standards under subsection (d) of this section, except that

incentives under such section and other incentives designed to

correct deficiencies in the project may be provided.

(b) Implementation

Any agreement to maintain the low-income affordability

restrictions for the remaining useful life of the housing may be

made through execution of a new regulatory agreement, modifications

to the existing regulatory agreement or mortgage, or, in the case

of the prepayment of a mortgage or voluntary termination of

mortgage insurance, a recorded instrument.

(1) ''Remaining useful life'' defined

For purposes of this title, (FOOTNOTE 3) the term ''remaining

useful life'' means, with respect to eligible low-income housing,

the period during which the physical characteristics of the

housing remain in a condition suitable for occupancy, assuming

normal maintenance and repairs are made and major systems and

capital components are replaced as becomes necessary.

(FOOTNOTE 3) See References in Text note below.

(2) Standards

The Secretary shall, by rule under section 553 of title 5,

establish standards for determining when the useful life of an

eligible low-income housing project has expired. The

determination shall be made on the record after opportunity for a

hearing.

(3) Owner petition

The Secretary shall establish a procedure under which owners of

eligible low-income housing may petition the Secretary for a

determination that the useful life of such housing has expired.

The procedure shall not permit such a petition before the

expiration of the 50-year period beginning upon the approval of a

plan of action under this subchapter with respect to such

housing. In making a determination pursuant to a petition under

this paragraph, the Secretary shall presume that the useful life

of the housing has not expired, and the owner shall have the

burden of proof in establishing such expiration. The Secretary

may not determine that the useful life of any housing has expired

if such determination results primarily from failure to make

regular and reasonable repairs and replacement, as became

necessary.

(4) Tenant and community comment and appeal

In making a determination regarding the useful life of any

housing pursuant to a petition submitted under paragraph (3), the

Secretary shall provide for comment by tenants of the housing and

interested persons and organizations with respect to the

petition. The Secretary shall also provide the tenants and

interested persons and organizations with an opportunity to

appeal a determination under this subsection.

(d) Housing standards

(1) Establishment and inspection

The Secretary shall, by regulation, establish standards

regarding the physical condition in which any eligible low income

housing project receiving incentives under this subchapter shall

be maintained. The Secretary shall inspect each such project not

less than annually to ensure that the project is in compliance

with such standards.

(2) Sanctions

(A) In general

The Secretary shall take any action appropriate to require

the owner of any housing not in compliance with such standards

to bring such housing into compliance with the standards,

including -

(i) directing the mortgagee, with respect to an equity

take-out loan under section 1715z-6(f) (FOOTNOTE 3) of this

title, to withhold the disbursement to the owner of any

escrowed loan proceeds and requiring that such proceeds be

used for repair of the housing; and

(ii) reduce the amount of the annual authorized return, as

determined by the Secretary, for the period ending upon a

determination by the Secretary that the project is in

compliance with the standards and requiring that such amounts

be used for repair.

(B) Continued compliance

To ensure continued compliance with the standards for a

project subject to any action under subparagraph (A), the

Secretary may also limit access of the owner to such amounts

and use of such amounts for not more than the 2-year period

beginning upon the determination that the project is in

compliance with the standards.

If, upon inspection, the Secretary determines that any

eligible low income housing project has failed to comply with

the standards established under this subsection for 2

consecutive years, the Secretary may take 1 or more of the

following actions:

(i) Subject to availability of amounts provided in

appropriations Acts, provide assistance under sections

1437f(b) and 1437f(o) of title 42 (other than project-based

assistance attached to the housing) for any tenant eligible

for such assistance who desires to terminate occupancy in the

housing. For each unit in the housing vacated pursuant to

the provision of assistance under this clause, the Secretary

may, notwithstanding any other law or contract for

assistance, cancel the provision of project-based assistance

attached to the housing for 1 dwelling unit, if the housing

is receiving such assistance.

(ii) In the case of housing for which an equity take-out

loan has been made under section 1715z-6(f) (FOOTNOTE 4) of

this title, declare such loan to be in default and accelerate

the maturity date of the loan.

(FOOTNOTE 4) See References in Text note below.

(iii) Declare any rehabilitation loan insured or provided

by the Secretary (with respect to the housing) to be in

default and accelerate the maturity date of the loan.

(iv) Suspend payments under or terminate any contract for

project-based rental assistance under section 1437f of title

42.

(v) Take any other action authorized by law or the project

regulatory agreement to ensure that the housing will be

brought into compliance with the standards established under

this subsection.

Sec. 4113. Assistance for displaced tenants

-STATUTE-

(a) Section 1437f assistance

Each low-income family that is displaced as a result of the

prepayment of the mortgage or voluntary termination of an insurance

contract on eligible low income housing shall, subject to the

availability or (FOOTNOTE 1) amounts provided under appropriations

Acts, receive tenant-based assistance under section 1437f of title

42. To the extent sufficient amounts are made available under

appropriations Acts, in each fiscal year the Secretary shall

reserve from amounts made available under section 4124(a) of this

title or, if necessary, under section 1437c(c) of title 42, such

amounts as the Secretary determines are necessary to provide

assistance payments for low-income families displaced during the

fiscal year.

(FOOTNOTE 1) So in original. Probably should be ''of''.

(b) Relocation assistance

The Secretary shall coordinate with public housing agencies to

ensure that any very low- or low-income family displaced from

eligible low-income housing as the result of the prepayment of the

mortgage (or termination of the mortgage insurance contract) on

such housing is able to acquire a suitable, affordable dwelling

unit in the area of the housing from which the family is

displaced. The Secretary shall require the owner of such housing

to pay 50 percent of the moving expenses of each family relocated,

except that such percentage shall be increased to the extent that

State or local law of general applicability requires a higher

payment by the owner.

(1) In general

Each owner that prepays the mortgage (or terminates the

mortgage insurance contract) on eligible low-income housing

shall, as provided in paragraph (3), allow the tenants occupying

units in such housing on the date of the submission of notice of

intent under section 4102 of this title to remain in the housing

for a period of 3 years, at rent levels (except for increases

necessary for increased operating costs) existing at the time of

prepayment.

(2) Provision of assistance by owner

In any case in which the Secretary requires an owner to allow

tenants to occupy units under paragraph (1), an owner may fulfill

the requirements of such paragraph by providing such assistance

necessary for the tenant to rent a decent, safe, and sanitary

unit in another project for the same period and at a rental cost

to the tenant not in excess of the rental amount the tenant would

have been required to pay in the housing of the owner, except

that the tenant must freely agree to waive the right to occupy

the unit in the owner's housing.

(3) Applicability to low-vacancy areas and special needs tenants

The provisions of this subsection shall apply only to -

(A) eligible low income housing located in a low-vacancy area

(as such term is defined by the Secretary); and

(B) tenants in any eligible low-income housing in any area

who have special needs restricting their ability to relocate

(including elderly tenants and tenants with disabilities), as

determined under regulations established by the Secretary.

(d) Required acceptance of section 1437f assistance

An owner who prepays the mortgage (or terminates the mortgage

insurance contract) on eligible low-income housing and maintains

the housing for residential rental occupancy may not refuse to

rent, refuse to negotiate for the rental of, or otherwise make

unavailable or deny the rent of a dwelling unit in such property to

any person, or discriminate against any person in the terms,

conditions, or privileges of rental of a dwelling (or in the

provision of services or facilities in connection therewith),

because the person receives assistance under section 1437f of title

42.

(e) Regional pools

In providing assistance under this section, the Secretary shall

allocate the assistance on a regional basis through the regional

offices of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The

Secretary shall allocate assistance under this section in a manner

so that the total number of assisted units in each such region

available for occupancy by, and affordable to, lower income

families and persons does not decrease because of the prepayment or

payment of a mortgage on eligible low-income housing or the

termination of an insurance contract on such housing.

(f) Enhanced voucher assistance for certain tenants

(1) Authority

In lieu of benefits under subsections (b), (c), and (d) of this

section, and subject to the availability of appropriated amounts,

each family described in paragraph (2) shall be offered enhanced

voucher assistance under section 1437f(t) of title 42.

(2) Eligible families

A family described in this paragraph is a family that is -

(A)(i) a low-income family; or

(ii) a moderate-income family that is: (I) an elderly family;

(II) a disabled family; or (III) residing in a low-vacancy

area; and

(B) residing in eligible low-income housing on the date of

the prepayment of the mortgage or voluntary termination of the

insurance contract.

voluntary termination, subject to compliance with the provisions of

section 4113 of this title, under one of the following

circumstances:

(1)(A) The Secretary approves a plan of action under section

4109(a) of this title, but does not provide the assistance

approved in such plan during the 15-month period beginning on the

date of approval.

(B) After the date that the housing would have been eligible

for prepayment pursuant to the terms of the mortgage

(notwithstanding this subchapter), the Secretary approves a plan

of action under section 4110 or 4111 of this title, but does not

provide the assistance approved in such plan before the earlier

of (i) the expiration of the 2-month period beginning on the

commencement of the 1st fiscal year beginning after such

approval, or (ii) the expiration of the 6-month period beginning

on the date of approval.

or 4111 of this title for any eligible low-income housing not

covered by subparagraph (B), but does not provide the assistance

approved in such plan before the earlier of (i) the expiration of

the 2-month period beginning on the commencement of the 1st

fiscal year beginning after such approval, or (ii) the expiration

of the 9-month period beginning on the date of approval.

(2) An owner who intended to transfer the housing to a

qualified purchaser under section 4110 or 4111 of this title, and

fully complied with the provisions of such section, did not

receive any bona fide offers from any qualified purchasers within

the applicable time periods.

In the event that the purchaser under the plan of action is unable

to consummate the purchase for reasons other than the failure of

the Secretary to provide incentives, an owner may terminate the

low-income affordability restrictions through prepayment or

voluntary termination subject to the provisions of sections 4110

and 4111 of this title.

(b) Section 1437f rental assistance

When providing rental assistance under section 1437f of title 42,

upon the future availability of appropriations for the purpose of

renewing expiring contracts for rental assistance as provided in

appropriations Acts, to extend the term of such rental assistance

for such additional period or periods necessary to carry out an

approved plan of action. The contract and the approved plan of

action shall provide that, if the Secretary is unable to extend the

term of such rental assistance or is unable to develop a revised

package of incentives providing benefits to the owner comparable to

those received under the original approved plan of action, the

Secretary, upon the request of the owner, shall take the following

actions (subject to the limitations under the following

paragraphs):

(1) Modification of commitments

Modify the binding commitments made pursuant to section

4112(a)(2) of this title that are dependent on such rental

assistance.

of action and any implementing use agreements or restrictions,

but only if the owner agrees in writing to comply with provisions

of section 4113 of this title.

At least 30 days before making a request under this subsection, an

owner shall notify the Secretary of the owner's intention to submit

the request. The Secretary shall have a period of 90 days

following receipt of such notice to take action to extend the

rental assistance contract and to continue the binding commitments

under section 4112(a)(2) of this title.

(2) Approval of method of conversion and limitation on conditions

of approval

The Secretary shall approve the method for converting the

housing to homeownership, which may involve acquisition of

ownership interests in, or shares representing, the units in a

project under any arrangement determined by the Secretary to be

appropriate, such as cooperative ownership (including limited

equity cooperative ownership) and fee simple ownership (including

condominium ownership). The Secretary may not require the

prepayment of the mortgage on eligible low-income housing for the

approval of a plan of action involving a homeownership program

for the housing.

(3) Required conditions

The Secretary shall require that the form of homeownership

impose appropriate conditions, including conditions to assure

that -

(A) the number of initial owners that are very low-income,

lower income, or moderate-income persons at initial occupancy

meet standards required or approved by the Secretary;

(B) occupancy charges payable by the owners meet requirements

established by the Secretary;

and other sources of funds for the project are sufficient to

permit occupancy charges to cover the full operating costs of

the housing and any debt service;

(D) each initial owner occupies the unit it acquires; and

(E) the low-income affordability restrictions shall continue

to apply to any rental units in the housing for any period

during which such units remain rental units.

(4) Use of proceeds from sales to eligible families

The entity that transfers ownership interests in, or shares

representing, units to eligible families, or another entity

specified in the approved application, may use 50 percent of the

proceeds, if any, from the initial sale for costs of the

homeownership program, including improvements to the project,

operating and replacement reserves for the project, additional

homeownership opportunities in the project, and other

project-related activities approved by the Secretary. The

remaining 50 percent of such proceeds shall be returned to the

Secretary for use under section 4110 of this title, subject to

availability under appropriations Acts. Such entity shall keep,

and make available to the Secretary, all records necessary to

calculate accurately payments due the Secretary under this

paragraph.

(5) Restrictions on resale by homeowners

(A) In general

(i) Transfer permitted

A homeowner under a homeownership program may transfer the

homeowner's ownership interest in, or shares representing,

the unit, except that a homeownership program may establish

restrictions on the resale of units under the program.

(ii) Right to purchase

Where a resident management corporation, resident council,

or cooperative has jurisdiction over the unit, the

corporation, council, or cooperative shall have the right to

purchase the ownership interest in, or shares representing,

the unit from the homeowner for the amount specified in a

firm contract between the homeowner and a prospective buyer.

(iii) Promissory note required

The homeowner shall execute a promissory note equal to the

difference, if any, between the market value and the purchase

price, payable to the Secretary, together with a mortgage

securing the obligation of the note.

(B) 6 years or less

In the case of a transfer within 6 years of the acquisition

under the program, the homeownership program shall provide for

appropriate restrictions to assure that an eligible family may

not receive any undue profit. The plan shall provide for

limiting the family's consideration for its interest in the

property to the total of -

(i) the contribution to equity paid by the family;

(ii) the value, as determined by such means as the

Secretary shall determine through regulation, of any

improvements installed at the expense of the family during

the family's tenure as owner; and

(iii) the appreciated value determined by an inflation

allowance at a rate which may be based on a cost-of-living

index, an income index, or market index as determined by the

Secretary through regulation and agreed to by the purchaser

and the entity that transfers ownership interests in, or

shares representing, units to eligible families (or another

entity specified in the approved application), at the time of

initial sale, and applied against the contribution to equity.

Such an entity may, at the time of initial sale, enter into an

agreement with the family to set a maximum amount which this

appreciation may not exceed.

In the case of a transfer during the period beginning 6 years

after the acquisition and ending 20 years after the

acquisition, the homeownership program shall provide for the

recapture by the Secretary or the program of an amount equal to

the amount of the declining balance on the note described in

subparagraph (A)(iii).

(D) Use of recaptured funds

Any net sales proceeds that may not be retained by the

homeowner under the plan approved pursuant to this paragraph

shall be paid to the HOME Investment Trust Fund for the unit of

general local government in which the housing is located. If

the housing is located in a unit of general local government

that is not a participating jurisdiction (as such term is

defined in section 12704 of title 42), any such net sales

proceeds shall be paid to the HOME Investment Trust Fund for

the State in which the housing is located. With respect to any

proceeds transferred to a HOME Investment Trust Fund under this

subparagraph, the Secretary shall take such actions as are

necessary to ensure that the proceeds shall be immediately

available for eligible activities to expand the supply of

affordable housing under section 12742 of title 42. The

Secretary shall require the maintenance of any records

necessary to calculate accurately payments due under this

paragraph.

(6) Protection of nonpurchasing families

(A) Eviction

No tenant residing in a dwelling unit in a property on the

date the Secretary approves a plan of action may be evicted by

reason of a homeownership program approved under this

subchapter.

(B) Rental assistance

If a tenant decides not to purchase a unit, or is not

qualified to do so, the Secretary shall ensure that rental

assistance under section 1437f of title 42 is available for use

by each otherwise qualified tenant (that meets the eligibility

requirements under such section) in that or another property.

Any system for preferences established under section

1437f(d)(1)(A) or 1437f(o)(6)(A) of title 42 shall not apply to

the provision of assistance to such families.

The resident council shall also inform each such tenant that

if the tenant chooses to move, the owner will pay relocation

assistance in accordance with the approved homeownership

program.

(7) Qualified management

As a condition of approval of a homeownership program under

this subchapter, the resident council shall have demonstrated its

abilities to manage eligible properties by having done so

effectively and efficiently for a period of not less than 3 years

or by entering into a contract with a qualified management entity

that meets such standards as the Secretary may prescribe to

ensure that the property will be maintained in a decent, safe,

and sanitary condition.

(8) Timely homeownership

Except in the case of limited equity cooperatives, resident

councils shall transfer ownership of the property to tenants

within a specified period of time that the Secretary determines

to be reasonable. During the interim period when the property

continues to be operated and managed as rental housing, the

resident council shall utilize written tenant selection policies

and criteria that are approved by the Secretary as consistent

with the purpose of providing housing for very low-income

families. The resident council shall promptly notify in writing

any rejected applicant of the grounds for any rejection.

(9) Records and audit of resident councils

(A) Maintenance

Each resident council shall keep such records as may be

reasonably necessary to fully disclose the amount and the

disposition by such resident council of the proceeds of

assistance received under this subchapter (including any

proceeds from sales under paragraphs (4) and (5)(D)), the total

cost of the homeownership program in connection with which such

assistance is given or used, and the amount and nature of that

portion of the program supplied by other sources, and such

other sources as will facilitate an effective audit.

(B) Access

The Secretary shall have access for the purpose of audit and

examination to any books, documents, papers, and records of the

resident council that are pertinent to assistance received

under this subchapter.

The Comptroller General of the United States, or any of the

duly authorized representatives of the Comptroller General,

shall also have access for the purpose of audit and examination

to any books, documents, papers, and records of the resident

council that are pertinent to assistance received under this

subchapter.

(10) Assumption conditions

Any entity that assumes a mortgage covering low-income housing

in connection with the acquisition of the housing from an owner

under this section must comply with any low-income affordability

restrictions for the remaining useful life of the housing as

determined under section 4112(c) of this title.

Sec. 4122. Preemption of State and local laws

-STATUTE-

(a) In general

No State or political subdivision of a State may establish,

continue in effect, or enforce any law or regulation that -

(1) restricts or inhibits the prepayment of any mortgage

described in section 4119(1) of this title (or the voluntary

termination of any insurance contract pursuant to section 1715t

of this title) on eligible low income housing;

(2) restricts or inhibits an owner of such housing from

receiving the authorized annual return provided under section

(3) is inconsistent with any provision of this subchapter,

including any law, regulation, or other restriction that limits

or impairs the ability of any owner of eligible low income

housing to receive incentives authorized under this subchapter

(including authorization to increase rental rates, transfer the

housing, obtain secondary financing, or use the proceeds of any

of such incentives); or

(4) in its applicability to low-income housing is limited only

to eligible low-income housing for which the owner has prepaid

the mortgage or terminated the insurance contract.

Any law, regulation, or restriction described under paragraph (1),

(2), (3), or (4) shall be ineffective and any eligible low-income

housing exempt from the law, regulation, or restriction, only to

the extent that it violates the provisions of this subsection.

(b) Effect

This section shall not prevent the establishment, continuing in

effect, or enforcement of any law or regulation of any State or

political subdivision of a State not inconsistent with the

provisions of this subchapter, such as any law or regulation

relating to building standards, zoning limitations, health, safety,

or habitability standards for housing, rent control, or conversion

of rental housing to condominium or cooperative ownership, to the

extent such law or regulation is of general applicability to both

housing receiving Federal assistance and nonassisted housing. This

section shall not preempt, annul, or alter any contractual

restrictions or obligations existing before November 28, 1990, that

prevent or limit an owner of eligible low-income housing from

prepaying the mortgage on the housing (or terminating the insurance

contract on the housing).

(1) In general

Upon application by a State or local housing authority (including

assisted under a State program under the terms of which the owner

may prepay a State assisted or subsidized mortgage on such

housing. The application of the State or local housing authority

shall demonstrate to the Secretary that the total amount of

incentives provided to the owner to induce the owner to preserve

the low and moderate income status of the project shall not exceed

the level of incentives which may be provided to a similarly

situated project with expiring Federal use restrictions under

project receiving assistance hereunder shall be subject to

standards, inspections and sanctions established by the Secretary

under section 222(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act

of 1987 (12 U.S.C. 4112(d)). Any such section 8 (42 U.S.C. 1437f)

assistance shall be provided for a term and at the fair market rent

levels or such higher levels used as applicable for eligible

low-income housing that receives incentives under subtitle B of

title II of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987 (12

The Secretary shall approve and disburse assistance under section

4143 of this title through eligible intermediaries selected by the

Secretary under subsection (b) of this section. If the Secretary

offering to administer assistance under this section in a given

State, the Secretary shall administer the program in such State

directly.

(b) Selection of eligible intermediaries

(1) In general

The Secretary shall develop criteria to select eligible

intermediaries, through a competitive process, to administer

assistance under this subchapter. The process shall include

provision for a reasonable administrative fee.

(2) Priority

With respect to all forms of grants available under section

4143 of this title, such criteria shall give priority to

applications from eligible intermediaries with demonstrated

expertise or experience with the program established under this

title (FOOTNOTE 1) or under the Emergency Low Income Housing

Preservation Act of 1987.

(FOOTNOTE 1) See References in Text note below.

(3) Criteria

The criteria developed under this subsection shall -

(A) not assign any preference or priority to applications

from eligible intermediaries based on their previous

participation in administering or receiving Federal grants or

loans (but may exclude applicants who have failed to perform

under prior contracts of a similar nature);

(B) require an applicant to prepare a proposal that

demonstrates adequate staffing, qualifications, prior

experience, and a plan for participation; and

assistance made available under section 4143(d) or (e) of this

title, based on the applicant's suitability and interest.

(4) Geographic coverage

The Secretary may select more than 1 State or regional

intermediary for a single State or region. The number of

intermediaries chosen for each State or region may be based on

the number of eligible low-income housing projects in the State

or region, provided there is no duplication of geographic

coverage by intermediaries in the administration of the direct

assistance grant program.

(5) National nonprofit intermediaries

National nonprofit intermediaries shall be selected to

administer the assistance made available under section 4143 of

this title only with respect to States or regions for which no

other eligible intermediary, acceptable to the Secretary, has

submitted a proposal to participate.

(6) Preference

With respect to assistance made available under section 4144 of

this title, preference shall be given to eligible regional,

State, and local intermediaries, over national nonprofit

organizations.

Eligible intermediaries selected under subsection (b) of this

section to disburse assistance under section 4143 of this title

shall certify that they will serve only as delegated program

administrators, charged with the responsibility for reviewing and

approving grant applications on behalf of the Secretary. Selected

intermediaries shall -

(1) establish appropriate procedures for grant administration

and fiscal management, pursuant to standards established by the

Secretary; and

(2) receive a reasonable administrative fee, except that they

may not provide other services to grant recipients with respect

to projects that are the subject of the grant application and may

not receive payment, directly or indirectly, from the proceeds of

grants they have approved.

(d) ''Eligible intermediary'' defined

For purposes of this section, the term ''eligible intermediary''

means a State, regional, or national organization (including a

quasi-public organization) or a State or local housing agency that

(1) has as a central purpose the preservation of existing

affordable housing and the prevention of displacement;

(2) does not receive direct Federal appropriations for

operating support;

(3) in the case of a national nonprofit organization, has been

in existence for at least 5 years prior to the date of

application and has been classified by the Internal Revenue

Service as an exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of

title 26;

(4) in the case of a regional or State nonprofit organization,

has been in existence for at least 3 years prior to the date of

application and has been classified by the Internal Revenue

Service as an exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of

title 26 or is otherwise a tax-exempt entity;

(5) has a record of service to low-income individuals or

community-based nonprofit housing developers in multiple

communities and, with respect to intermediaries administering

assistance under section 4143 of this title, has experience with

the allocation or administration of grant or loan funds; and

(6) meets standards of fiscal responsibility established by the

Secretary.
