Such application shall include a plan for addressing the problem of drug-related or violent crime in and around of 2 the housing administered or owned by the applicant for which the application is being submitted, which plan shall be coordinated with and may be in- cluded in the public housing agency plan sub- mitted to the Secretary pursuant to section 1437c–1 of this title. (b) One-year renewable grants (1) In general An eligible applicant that is a public hous- ing agency may apply for a 1-year grant under this subchapter that, subject to the avail- ability of appropriated amounts, shall be re- newed annually for a period of not more than 4 additional years, except that such renewal shall be contingent upon the Secretary find- ing, upon an annual or more frequent review, that the grantee agency is performing under the terms of the grant and applicable laws in a satisfactory manner and meets such other requirements as the Secretary may prescribe. The Secretary may adjust the amount of any grant received or renewed under this para- graph to take into account increases or de- creases in amounts appropriated for these pur- poses or such other factors as the Secretary determines to be appropriate. (2) Eligibility and preference The Secretary may not provide assistance under this subchapter to an applicant that is a public housing agency unless— (A) the agency will use the grants to con- tinue or expand activities eligible for assist- ance under this subchapter, as in effect im- mediately before the effective date under section 503(a) of the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998, in which case the Secretary shall provide preference to such applicant; except that preference under this subparagraph shall not preclude selection by the Secretary of other meri- torious applications that address urgent or serious crime problems nor be construed to require continuation of activities deter- mined by the Secretary to be unworthy of continuation; or (B) the agency is in the class established under paragraph (3). (3) PHAs having urgent or serious crime prob- lems The Secretary shall, by regulations issued after notice and opportunity for public com- ment, set forth criteria for establishing a class of public housing agencies that have urgent or serious crime problems.
