Latest Amendment Status Purpose View All Amendments [8]
 
H.Amdt843 Pass An amendment numbered 1 printed in House Report 110-369 to establish a state minimum allocation percentage, under which every state will receive at least one half of one percent (.5%) of the total funds available each year that are allocated to states, Indian Tribes, and insular areas. Allocations to all other states would be reduced pro rata to bring these states up to this .5% minimum. The amendment would also provide that the local jurisdiction in each state that is slated to receive the largest amount by formula in such state would be entitled to receive such funds directly [notwithstanding the bill's provision that jurisdictions entitled to their state in any year that nationwide funding is less than $2 billion]. The amendment includes a technical clarification to ensure that the mixed income limitation capping the number of units initially rented to extremely low income families at 50% applies to all of the units in a project [not just those units assisted by trust fund dollars]. The amendment would provide that the exception to the mixed income rule applies to all `elderly only' projects, not just those projects of 25 or fewer units.
H.Amdt844 Pass An amendment numbered 2 printed in House Report 110-369 to add additional flexibility to permitted fund uses, by allowing a grantee to use up to 10% of their funds for project operating accounts to cover shortfalls for projects assisted with trust fund dollars, to facilitate affordability for families below the SSI income limit.
H.Amdt845 Pass An amendment numbered 3 printed in House Report 110-369 to amend the Affordable Housing Trust Fund homeownership counseling criteria to include flood or other disaster specific insurance in applicable regions.
