Summary

After September 30, 1997, money from the United States Housing Act of 1937 cannot be used for Indian housing that was built or run under a contract between the Secretary and an Indian housing authority, unless the funds came from fiscal year 1997 and the agreement was made before September 30, 1997. If a tenant-based assistance contract is ended under this rule, that housing will be treated as a dwelling unit under section 4152(b)(1) for the next fiscal year and every year after. Also after September 30, 1997, housing built or run under those contracts is no longer covered by the 1937 Act or by any yearly funding contract under that Act, and must instead be kept and treated as affordable housing under this chapter.
