§ 12806. Home repair services grants for older
and disabled homeowners
(a) In general
The Secretary shall make available a model
program to provide home repair services for
older homeowners and disabled homeowners, in-
cluding such services as the examination of
homes, repair services, and follow-up to ensure
the continued effectiveness of the repairs pro-
vided.
(b) Eligible recipients
Home repair services shall be provided to
homeowners who—
(1) own and reside in the dwellings for which
services are provided;
(2) are older or disabled; and
(3) are members of low-income families.
(c) Permitted restrictions
Guidelines for the model program shall require
that—
(1) assisted dwelling units be the primary
residence of the homeowner for whom services
are provided;
(2) preferences be provided for (A) very low-
income families, and (B) individuals with in-
tense need characterized by noneconomic fac-
tors such as physical and mental disabilities,
language barriers, and cultural, social, or geo-
graphical isolation caused by racial or ethnic
status that restricts the ability of an indi-
vidual to perform normal daily tasks or that
threatens the capacity of the individual to live
independently;
(3) any fees charged be based on the income
of the individual receiving the home repair
services.

§ 12807. Low-income housing conservation and
efficiency grant programs
(a) In general
The Secretary shall make available a model
program to provide safe, energy-efficient afford-
able housing for low-income persons.
(b) Activities
The model program shall provide for—
(1) identification of housing that is—
(A) owned and occupied by low-income
families who have received, are currently re-
ceiving, or are scheduled to receive assist-
ance under the weatherization assistance for
low-income persons program under part A of
title IV of the Energy Conservation and Pro-
duction Act [42 U.S.C. 6861 et seq.] (or a com-
parable Federal or State program);
(B) in danger of becoming uninhabitable
within a 5-year period because of structural
weaknesses or problems; and
(C) not sufficiently sound to permit energy
conservation improvements without other
repair or rehabilitation measures to protect
such energy investments;
(2) repairs that will significantly prolong the
habitability of units identified under para-
graph (1), including roofing, electrical, plumb-
ing, furnace, and foundation repairs or re-
placement that will prolong the use of the
unit as a safe and energy-efficient residence
for low-income persons; and
(3) reasonable steps to ensure that any units
so repaired will remain occupied by persons or
families eligible for assistance under this sub-
chapter.

**(a) Repayable advances**
(1) **In general** — The Secretary shall make available a model program under which repayable advances may be made to public and private project sponsors in constructing, acquiring, or substantially rehabilitating projects to be used as affordable rental housing, including limited equity cooperatives and mutual housing.
(2) **Maximum amount of advance** — An advance under this model program shall not exceed 50 percent of the total costs associated with the construction, acquisition, or substantial rehabilitation of the project, as determined by the participating jurisdiction.
(3) **Terms of repayment**
(A) *Interest payments*
(i) *In general* — Under the model program, advances shall be repaid with interest calculated at a rate of not more than 3 percent per year, as determined by the participating jurisdiction to be appropriate. Interest shall begin to accrue 1 year after the completion of the construction, acquisition, or substantial rehabilitation of the project and shall be payable in annual installments.
(ii) *Exception* — Interest and any accrued interest shall be payable only from the surplus cash flow of the project, after a minimum return on equity determined by the participating jurisdiction to be appropriate. As used in the previous sentence, the term “surplus cash flow” means the cash flow of the project after the payment of all amounts due under the first mortgage, operating expenses, and required replacement reserves, as determined by the participating jurisdiction.
(B) *Additional interest payments* — Under the model program, for any year in which the sum of the surplus cash flow of a project and the return on equity exceeds all interest payments due under subparagraph (A), 50 percent of the excess surplus cas

**(a)** The Congress finds that—
(1) the fastest, most cost-effective, and most environmentally sound way to prevent future energy shortages in the United States, while reducing the Nation’s dependence on imported energy supplies, is to encourage and facilitate, through major programs, the implementation of energy conservation and renewable-resource energy measures with respect to dwelling units, nonresidential buildings, and industrial plants;
(2) current efforts to encourage and facilitate such measures are inadequate as a consequence of—
(A) a lack of adequate and available financing for such measures, particularly with respect to individual consumers and owners of small businesses;
(B) a shortage of reliable and impartial information and advisory services pertaining to practicable energy conservation measures and renewable-resource energy measures and the cost savings that are likely if they are implemented in such units, buildings, and plants; and
(C) the absence of organized programs which, if they existed, would enable consumers, especially individuals and owners of small businesses, to undertake such measures easily and with confidence in their economic value;
(3) major programs of financial incentives and assistance for energy conservation measures and renewable-resource energy measures in dwelling units, nonresidential buildings, and industrial plants would—
(A) significantly reduce the Nation’s demand for energy and the need for petroleum imports;
(B) cushion the adverse impact of the high price of energy supplies on consumers, particularly elderly and handicapped low-income persons who cannot afford to make the modifications necessary to reduce their residential energy use; and
(C) increase, directly and indirectly, job opportunities and

PART A—WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE FOR
LOW-INCOME PERSONS
§ 6861. Congressional findings and purpose
(a) The Congress finds that—
(1)
a
fast,
cost-effective,
and
environ-
mentally sound way to prevent future energy
shortages in the United States while reducing
the Nation’s dependence on imported energy
supplies,
is
to
encourage
and
facilitate,
through major programs, the implementation
of energy conservation and renewable-resource
energy measures with respect to dwelling
units;
(2) existing efforts to encourage and facili-
tate such measures are inadequate because—
(A) many dwellings owned or occupied by
low-income persons are energy inefficient;
(B) low-income persons can least afford to
make the modifications necessary to provide
for efficient energy equipment in such dwell-
ings and otherwise to improve the energy ef-
ficiency of such dwellings;
(3) weatherization of such dwellings would
lower shelter costs in dwellings owned or occu-
pied by low-income persons as well as save en-
ergy and reduce future energy capacity re-
quirements; and
(4) States, through Community Action Agen-
cies established under the Economic Oppor-
tunity Act of 1964 [42 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.] and
units of general purpose local government,
should

**(b) Assignment of certain loan contracts** Any contract for a loan made during the period beginning on December 31, 1982, and ending on September 30, 1986, with—
