Summary

The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development can let the Virgin Islands' housing authority receive and count certain grants and federal help for slum clearance, urban redevelopment, or urban renewal projects. This covers two kinds of aid: local grants that would be approved for projects using federal funds under Title I of the Housing Act of 1949, and grants or assistance from other federal agencies under other laws that, if given by a state or local government, would also be approved for those projects.
