Requires a charter contract to provide that a public housing agency:

(2) shall ensure that at least 75% of the families assisted are very low-income families;
(3) shall establish a reasonable rent policy designed to encourage employment, self-sufficiency, and home ownership by participating families; and
(4) meet specified additional requirements. Directs the Secretary to appoint a federal advisory committee to assess and develop a demonstration program to test standards, criteria, and practices for a national public housing agency accreditation system or other evaluation system.
