§4104 — Title 25 Indians | U.S. Code

Summary

The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development can let an Indian housing authority get program aid even if other laws say the authority must add matching money, but only when the authority did not receive money under title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 [42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.] for that fiscal year. The Secretary decides how long the waiver lasts, and it cannot go past that fiscal year or past when the authority receives any title I amounts. "Housing program" means programs run by HUD or the Department of Agriculture (through the Farmers Home Administration) that give help for housing, like contracts, grants, loans, cooperative agreements, or loan insurance/guarantees.

(a)For any housing program that provides assistance through any Indian housing authority, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may provide assistance under such program in any fiscal year notwithstanding any other provision of law that requires the Indian housing authority to provide amounts to match or supplement the amounts provided under such program, if the Indian housing authority has not received amounts for such fiscal year under title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 [42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.].

(b)The authority under subsection (a) to provide assistance notwithstanding requirements regarding matching or supplemental amounts shall be effective only to the extent provided by the Secretary, which shall not extend beyond the fiscal year in which the waiver is made or beyond the receipt of any amounts by an Indian housing authority under title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 [42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.].

(c)For purposes of this section, the term “housing program” means a program under the administration of the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or the Secretary of Agriculture (through the Administrator of the Farmers Home Administration) that provides assistance in the form of contracts, grants, loans, cooperative agreements, or any other form of assistance (including the insurance or guarantee of a loan, mortgage, or pool of mortgages) for housing.
