housing under this part are repayable when the housing no longer

qualifies as affordable housing. Any repayment under the previous

sentence shall be for deposit in the HOME Investment Trust Fund of

the jurisdiction making the investment; except that if such

jurisdiction is not a participating jurisdiction when such

12747 of this title. Actions authorized under the preceding

sentence may include authorizing the establishment for a

including limited equity cooperatives and mutual housing.

(2) Maximum amount of advance

An advance under this model program shall not exceed 50 percent

of the total costs associated with the construction, acquisition,

or substantial rehabilitation of the project, as determined by

the participating jurisdiction.

(3) Terms of repayment

(A) Interest payments

(i) In general

Under the model program, advances shall be repaid with

interest calculated at a rate of not more than 3 percent per

year, as determined by the participating jurisdiction to be

appropriate. Interest shall begin to accrue 1 year after the

rehabilitation of the project and shall be payable in annual

installments.

(ii) Exception

Interest and any accrued interest shall be payable only

from the surplus cash flow of the project, after a minimum

return on equity determined by the participating jurisdiction

(B) Additional interest payments

Under the model program, for any year in which the sum of the

surplus cash flow of a project and the return on equity exceeds

jurisdiction's HOME Investment Trust Fund as additional

interest.

(C) Principal and unpaid interest

The principal amount of an advance under the model program,

to the project in comparison to the value of all public

assistance for the project, including assistance under this

subchapter, other Federal assistance and financing, and State

and local government contributions (except that this criterion

shall not apply to or affect the selection of applications

submitted by public housing agencies and nonprofit entities);

(G) the extent of non-Federal public or private assistance to

(1) the need for the Department of Housing and Urban

Development or other agencies of the United States to provide

partial credit enhancement to make financing for affordable

housing available efficiently and at the lowest possible cost;

and

(2) alternative ways in which -

(A) the Department could provide any needed credit

enhancement on a one-stop basis for participating

jurisdictions, in coordination with other forms of assistance

under this part;

(B) the Department or other agencies of the Federal

Government could assist government-sponsored mortgage finance

corporations in the financing of mortgages on affordable

housing through the development of mortgage-backed securities

that are more standardized and readily traded in the capital

markets;

(C) the capacities of existing agencies of the United States

could be used to provide mortgage finance more efficiently for

affordable housing through government-sponsored mortgage

finance corporations; and

(D) the interests of the Federal Government could be

protected and any risks of loss could be minimized through

requirements for fees, mortgage insurance, risk-sharing, secure

collateral, and guarantees by other parties, and through

standards relating to minimum capital and prior experience with

underwriting, origination and servicing.

prior to such approval and prior to any commitment of funds to such

projects (!1) the jurisdiction or insular area has submitted to the

Secretary a request for such release accompanied by a certification

which meets the requirements of subsection (c) of this section. The

Secretary's approval of any such certification shall be deemed to

satisfy his responsibilities under the National Environmental

Policy Act of 1969 [42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.] and such other

provisions of law as the regulations of the Secretary specify

insofar as those responsibilities relate to the releases of funds

section, and (B) is authorized and consents on behalf of the

jurisdiction or insular area and himself to accept the

jurisdiction of the Federal courts for the purpose of enforcement

of his responsibilities as such an official.

(d) Assistance to units of general local government from a State

In the case of assistance to units of general local government

from a State, the State shall perform those actions of the

Secretary described in subsection (b) of this section and the

performance of such actions shall be deemed to satisfy the

Secretary's responsibilities referred to in the second sentence of

whose structure is -

(i) not permanently affixed to a permanent foundation in

accordance with local or other applicable regulations; or

(ii) not in compliance with State, local, or model building

codes, or other applicable codes, and cannot be brought into

compliance with such codes for less than the cost of

(2) Maximum income of homebuyer

The aggregate annual income of the homebuyer and the members of

the family of the homebuyer residing with the homebuyer, for the

12-month period preceding the date of the application of the

homebuyer for assistance under this subchapter, does not exceed -

(A) 95 percent of the median income for a family of 4 persons

(adjusted by family size) in the applicable metropolitan

statistical area (or such other area that the Board of

Directors determines for areas outside of metropolitan

statistical areas); or

size) in the case of an area that is subject to a high cost

area mortgage limit under title II of the National Housing Act

[12 U.S.C. 1707 et seq.].

The Board of Directors shall provide for certification of such

income for purposes of initial eligibility for assistance

payments under this subchapter and shall provide for

recertification of homebuyers (and families of homebuyers) so

assisted not less than every 2 years thereafter.

(3) Certification

The homebuyer (and spouse, where applicable) shall certify that

rate mortgage and has been denied because the annual income of

the homebuyer and the members of the family of the homebuyer

residing with the homebuyer is insufficient.

(4) Principal residence

The property securing the mortgage is a single-family residence

or unit in a cooperative and is the principal residence of the

homebuyer.

The principal obligation of the mortgage does not exceed the

principal amount that could be insured with respect to the

property under the National Housing Act [12 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.].

rate that does not exceed a maximum rate of interest established

by the Trust taking into consideration prevailing interest rates

on similar mortgages.

(7) Responsible mortgagee

The mortgage has been made to, and is held by, a mortgagee that

is federally insured or that is otherwise approved by the Trust

as responsible and able to service the mortgage properly.

(8) Minimum downpayment

For a first-time homebuyer to receive downpayment assistance

under subsection (a)(2) of this section, the homebuyer shall have

paid not less than 1 percent of the cost of acquisition of the

property (excluding any mortgage insurance premium paid at the

time the mortgage is insured), as such cost is estimated by the

Board of Directors.

(c) Terms of assistance

(1) Security

Assistance payments under this subchapter shall be secured by a

lien on the property involved. The lien shall be subordinate to

all mortgages existing on the property on the date on which the

first assistance payment is made.

(2) Repayment upon sale

Assistance payments under this subchapter shall be repayable

from the net proceeds of the sale, without interest, upon the

sale of the property for which the assistance payments are made.

If the sale results in no net proceeds or the net proceeds are

insufficient to repay the amount of the assistance payments in

full, the Board of Directors shall release the lien to the extent

that the debt secured by the lien remains unpaid.

(3) Repayment upon increased income

If the aggregate annual income of the homebuyer (and family of

the homebuyer) assisted under this subchapter exceeds the

applicable maximum income allowable under subsection (b)(2) of

this section for any 2-year period after such assistance is

provided, the Board of Directors may provide for the repayment,

on a monthly basis, of all or a portion of such assistance

payments, based on the amount of assistance provided and the

income of the homebuyer (and family of the homebuyer).

(4) Repayment if property ceases to be principal residence

If the property for which assistance payments are made ceases

to be the principal residence of the first-time homebuyer (or the

family of the homebuyer), the Board of Directors may provide for

the repayment of all or a portion of the assistance payments.

(5) Available assistance

The Trust may make assistance payments under paragraphs (1) and

(2) of subsection (a) of this section with respect to a single

mortgage of an eligible homebuyer.

(d) Allocation formula

Amounts available in any fiscal year for assistance under this

subchapter shall be allocated for homebuyers in each State on the

basis of the need of eligible first-time homebuyers in each State

for such assistance in comparison with the need of eligible

first-time homebuyers for such assistance among all States.

(e) Assistance in connection with housing financed with mortgage

revenue bonds

(1) Authority

The Trust shall provide assistance for first-time homebuyers in

the form of interest rate buydowns and downpayment assistance

under this subsection. Such assistance shall be available only

with respect to mortgages for the purchase of residences (A)

financed with the proceeds of a qualified mortgage bond (as such

term is defined in section 143 of title 26), or (B) for which a

credit is allowable under section 25 of title 26.

(2) Eligibility

To be eligible for assistance under this subsection, homebuyers

and mortgages shall also meet the requirements under subsection

(b) of this section, except that -

A homeownership program under this part shall provide for

acquisition by eligible families of ownership interest in, or

shares representing, the units in an eligible property 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), for occupancy by the eligible families.

(b) Affordability

A homeownership program under this part shall provide for the

establishment of sales prices (including principal, insurance,

taxes, and interest and closing costs) for initial acquisition of

the property, and for sales to eligible families, such that the

eligible family shall not be required to expend more than 30

percent of the adjusted income of the family per month to complete

a sale under the homeownership program.

A homeownership program under this part shall provide, and

include a plan, for -

(1) identifying and selecting eligible families to participate

in the homeownership program;

(2) providing relocation assistance to families who elect to

move;

(3) ensuring continued affordability by tenants, homebuyers,

and homeowners in the property; and

(4) providing ongoing training and counseling for homebuyers

and homeowners.

(d) Acquisition and rehabilitation limitation

Acquisition or rehabilitation of a property under a homeownership

program under this part may not consist of acquisition or

rehabilitation of less than all of the units in the property. The

provisions of this subsection may be waived upon a finding by the

Secretary that the sale of less than all the buildings in a project

is feasible and will not result in a hardship to any tenants of the

project who are not included in the homeownership program.

(e) Financing

(1) In general

The application shall identify and describe the proposed

financing for (A) any rehabilitation, and (B) acquisition (i) of

the project, where applicable, by an entity for transfer to

eligible families, and (ii) by eligible families of ownership

interests in, or shares representing, units in the project.

Financing may include use of the implementation grant, sale for

cash, or other sources of financing (subject to applicable

requirements), including conventional mortgage loans and mortgage

loans insured under title II of the National Housing Act [12

U.S.C. 1707 et seq.].

(2) Prohibition against pledges

Property transferred under this part shall not be pledged as

collateral for debt or otherwise encumbered except when the

Secretary determines that -

(A) such encumbrance will not threaten the long-term

availability of the property for occupancy by low-income

families;

(B) neither the Federal Government nor the public housing

agency will be exposed to undue risks related to action that

may have to be taken pursuant to paragraph (3);

(C) any debt obligation can be serviced from project income,

including operating assistance; and

(D) the proceeds of such encumbrance will be used only to

meet housing standards in accordance with subsection (f) of

this section or to make such additional capital improvements as

the Secretary determines to be consistent with the purposes of

this part.

(3) Opportunity to cure

Any lender that provides financing in connection with a

homeownership program under this part shall give the public

housing agency, resident management corporation, individual

owner, or other appropriate entity a reasonable opportunity to

cure a financial default before foreclosing on the property, or

taking other action as a result of the default.

(f) Housing quality standards

The application shall include a plan ensuring that the unit -

(1) will be free from any defects that pose a danger to health

or safety before transfer of an ownership interest in, or shares

representing, a unit to an eligible family; and

(2) will, not later than 2 years after the transfer to an

eligible family, meet minimum housing standards established by

the Secretary for the purpose of this title.(!1)

(g) Protection of nonpurchasing families

(1) In general

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

the Secretary approves an application for an implementation grant

may be evicted by reason of a homeownership program approved

under this part.

(2) Rental assistance

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

to do so, the Secretary shall, subject to the availability of

appropriations, ensure that rental assistance under section 1437f

of this title is available for use by each otherwise qualified

tenant in that or another property.

(3) Relocation assistance

The recipient shall also inform each such tenant that if the

tenant chooses to move, the recipient will pay relocation

assistance in accordance with the approved homeownership program.

SUBCHAPTER IV - HOPE FOR HOMEOWNERSHIP OF MULTIFAMILY AND SINGLE

FAMILY HOMES

Part A - HOPE for Homeownership of Multifamily Units

-HEAD-

Sec. 12875. Other program requirements

-STATUTE-

(a) Preferences

In selecting eligible families for homeownership, the recipient

shall give a first preference to otherwise qualified current

tenants and a second preference to otherwise qualified eligible

families who have completed participation in an economic

self-sufficiency program specified by the Secretary.

(b) Cost limitations

The Secretary may establish cost limitations on eligible

activities under this part, subject to the provisions of this part.

(c) 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, shall use the proceeds, if

any, from the initial sale for costs of the homeownership program,

including operating expenses, improvements to the project, business

opportunities for low-income families, supportive services related

to the homeownership program, additional homeownership

opportunities, and other activities approved by the Secretary.

(d) Restrictions on resale by homeowners

(1) In general

(A) 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.

(B) 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. If such an

entity does not have jurisdiction over the unit or elects not

to purchase and if the prospective buyer is not a low-income

family, the public housing agency or the implementation grant

recipient shall have the right to purchase the ownership

interest in, or shares representing, the unit for the same

amount.

(C) Promissory note required

The homeowner shall execute a promissory note equal to the

difference between the market value and the purchase price,

payable to the public housing agency or other entity designated

in the homeownership plan, together with a mortgage securing

the obligation of the note.

(2) 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 -

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

(B) 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

(C) 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.

(3) 6-20 years

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 paragraph (1)(C).

(4) Use of recaptured funds

Fifty percent of any portion of the net sales proceeds that may

not be retained by the homeowner under the plan approved pursuant

to this subsection shall be paid to the entity that transferred

ownership interests in, or shares representing, units to eligible

families, or another entity specified in the approved

application, for use for improvements to the project, business

opportunities for low-income families, supportive services

related to the homeownership program, additional homeownership

opportunities, and other activities approved by the Secretary.

The remaining 50 percent shall be returned to the Secretary for

use under this part, subject to limitations contained in

appropriations Acts. Such entity shall keep and make available to

the Secretary all records necessary to calculate accurately

payments due the Secretary under this subsection.

(e) Third party rights

The requirements under this part regarding quality standards,

resale, or transfer of the ownership interest of a homeowner shall

be judicially enforceable against the grant recipient with respect

to actions involving rehabilitation, and against purchasers of

property under this subsection or their successors in interest with

respect to other actions by affected low-income families, resident

management corporations, resident councils, public housing

agencies, and any agency, corporation, or authority of the United

States Government. The parties specified in the preceding sentence

shall be entitled to reasonable attorney fees upon prevailing in

any such judicial action.

(f) Dollar limitation on economic development activities

Not more than an aggregate of $250,000 from amounts made

available under sections 12872 and 12873 of this title may be used

for economic development activities under sections 12872(b)(6) and

12873(b)(9) (!1) of this title for any project.

(g) Timely homeownership

Recipients 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

recipient shall utilize written tenant selection policies and

criteria that are approved by the Secretary as consistent with the

purpose of improving housing opportunities for low-income families.

The recipient shall promptly notify in writing any rejected

applicant of the grounds for any rejection.

(h) Records and audit of recipients of assistance

(1) In general

Each recipient shall keep such records as may be reasonably

necessary to fully disclose the amount and the disposition by

such recipient of the proceeds of assistance received under this

part (and any proceeds from financing obtained or sales under

subsections (c) and (d) of this section), 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.

(2) Access by Secretary

The Secretary shall have access for the purpose of audit and

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

recipient that are pertinent to assistance received under this

part.

(3) Access by Comptroller General

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 recipient that are

pertinent to assistance received under this part.

(i) Certain entities not eligible

Any entity that assumes, as determined by the Secretary, a

mortgage covering eligible property in connection with the

acquisition of the property from an owner under this section must

comply with any low-income affordability restrictions for the

remaining term of the mortgage. This requirement shall only apply

to an entity, such as a cooperative association, that, as

determined by the Secretary, intends to own the housing on a

permanent basis.

The Secretary may establish cost limitations on eligible

Any entity that transfers ownership interests in, or shares

representing, units to eligible families, or another entity

specified in the approved application, may use the proceeds, if

any, from the initial sale for costs of the homeownership program,

including operating expenses, improvements to the project, business

opportunities for low-income families, supportive services related

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. If such an

entity does not have jurisdiction over the unit or elects not

to purchase and if the prospective buyer is not a low-income

family, the public housing agency or the implementation grant

recipient shall have the right to purchase the ownership

interest in, or shares representing, the unit for the same

amount.

(C) Promissory note required

The homeowner shall execute a promissory note equal to the

difference between the market value and the purchase price,

the obligation of the note.

(2) 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

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.

(3) 6-20 years

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

after the acquisition and ending 20 years after the acquisition,

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

declining balance on the note described in paragraph (1)(C).

Fifty percent of any portion of the net sales proceeds that may

not be retained by the homeowner under the plan approved pursuant

to this subsection shall be paid to the entity that transferred

ownership interests in, or shares representing, units to eligible

families, or another entity specified in the approved

application, for use for improvements to the project, business

opportunities for low-income families, supportive services

related to the homeownership program, additional homeownership

opportunities, and other activities approved by the Secretary.

The remaining 50 percent shall be returned to the Secretary for

use under this part, subject to limitations contained in

appropriations Acts. Such entity shall keep and make available to

the Secretary all records necessary to calculate accurately

payments due the Secretary under this subsection.

(d) Third party rights

The requirements under this part regarding quality standards,

resale, or transfer of the ownership interest of a homeowner shall

be judicially enforceable against the grant recipient with respect

to actions involving rehabilitation, and against purchasers of

property under this subsection or their successors in interest with

respect to other actions by affected low-income families, resident

management corporations, resident councils, public housing

agencies, and any agency, corporation, or authority of the United

States Government. The parties specified in the preceding sentence

shall be entitled to reasonable attorney fees upon prevailing in

any such judicial action.

(e) Protection of nonpurchasing families

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

the Secretary approves an application for an implementation grant

may be evicted by reason of a homeownership program approved under

this part.

(h) (!1) Records and audit of recipients of assistance

(1) In general

Each recipient shall keep such records as may be reasonably

necessary to fully disclose the amount and the disposition by

such recipient of the proceeds of assistance received under this

part (and any proceeds from financing obtained or sales under

subsections (b) and (c) of this section), 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.

(2) Access by Secretary

The Secretary shall have access for the purpose of audit and

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

recipient that are pertinent to assistance received under this

part.

(3) Access by Comptroller General

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

duly authorized representatives of the Comptroller General, shall

limited English proficiency. The section was omitted in the general
