TITLE III-URBAN RENEWAL

REHABILITATION LOANS

SEC. 312. (a) The Secretary is authorized, through the utilization of local public and private agencies where feasible, to make loans as herein provided to the owners and tenants of property to finance the rehabilitation of such property. No loan shall be made under this section unless

(1)(A) the property is situated in an urban renewal area or an area in which a program of concentrated code enforcement activity is being carried out pursuant to section 117 of the Housing Act of 1949, and the rehabilitation is required to make the property conform to applicable code requirements or to carry out the objectives of the urban renewal plan for the area and, in addition, to generally improve the condition of the property; or

(B)(i) the property is in an area (other than an area described in subparagraph (A)) which the governing body of the locality has determined, and so certifies to the Secretary, contains a substantial number of structures in need of rehabilitation, (ii) there is in effect for the locality a workable program meeting the requirements of section 101(c) of the Housing Act of 1949, (iii) the property is residential and owner-occupied, (iv) the property is in need of rehabilitation and is in violation of the local minimum housing or similar code, and (v) the area is definitely planned for rehabilitation or concentrated code enforcement within a reasonable time, and the rehabilitation of such property is consistent with the plan for rehabilitation or code enforcement; or

(C)(i) the property has been determined to be uninsurable because of physical hazards after an inspection pursuant to a statewide property insurance plan approved by the Secretary under title XII of the National Housing Act, and (ii) the loan is made to the owner or tenant of the property to finance rehabilitation which the Secretary determines to be necessary to make the property meet reasonable underwriting standards; or (D) the rehabilitation is a part of, or is necessary or appropriate to the execution of, community development activities under title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 or an approved urban homestead program under section 809 of such Act;

(2) the applicant is unable to secure the necessary funds from other sources upon comparable terms and conditions; and (3) the loan is an acceptable risk taking into consideration the need for the rehabilitation, the security available for the loan, and the ability of the applicant to repay the loan. The Secretary shall, in making loans under this section, give priority to applications by low- and moderate-income persons who own

the property to be rehabilitated and will occupy such property upon completion of the rehabilitation, including applications by condominiums and cooperatives in which the residents are principally of low and moderate income. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, the term "low and moderate income" means income which does not exceed 95 per centum of the median income for the

area.

(b) For the purposes of this section

(1) the term "rehabilitation" means the improvement or repair of a structure or facilities in connection with a structure, and may include the provision of such sanitary or other facilities as are required by applicable codes, the urban renewal plan, or a statewide property insurance plan to be provided by the owner or tenant of the property;

(2) the term "urban renewal area" means a slum area or a blighted, deteriorated, or deteriorating area as defined in section 110(a) of the Housing Act of 1949;

(3) the term "tenant" means a person or organization who is occupying a structure under a lease having a period to run at the time a rehabilitation loan is made under this section of not less than the term of the loan; and

(4) the term "Secretary" means the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

(c) A rehabilitation loan made under this section shall be subject to the following limitations:

(1) The loan shall be subject to such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by the Secretary.

(2) The term of the loan may not exceed twenty years or threefourths of the remaining economic life of the structure after rehabilitation, whichever is less.

(3) The loan shall bear interest at such rate as the Secretary determines to be appropriate, but not to exceed 3 per centum per annum for loans to families with adjusted incomes of not more than 80 per centum of the median income for the area. For loans to families with adjusted incomes above 80 per centum of the median income for the area, as determined by the Secretary, the Secretary may establish interest rates based on adjusted family income, ranging from above 3 per centum to a rate determined by the Secretary, but in no case may any such rate exceed the current average market yield on outstanding marketable securities of the United States with remaining periods to maturity comparable to the terms of loans made pursuant to this section, adjusted to the nearest oneeighth of 1 per centum. The Secretary may prescribe such other charges adequate in the judgment of the Secretary to cover administrative costs and possible losses under the program.

(4) The amount of the loan may not exceed

(A) in the case of residential property, $33,500 per dwelling unit: Provided, That within the limitations otherwise applicable on the amount of a loan, the loan may exceed the cost of rehabilitation in order to include an amount approved by the Secretary to refinance existing indebtedness secured by such property (i) if such refinancing is necessary to enable the applicant to amortize, with a monthly payment of not more than 20 per centum of his average monthly income, such loan and any
