§ 1831q. FDIC affordable housing program
(a) Purpose
The purpose of this section is to provide home-
ownership and rental housing opportunities for
very low-income, low-income, and moderate-in-
come families.
(b) Funding and limitations of program
(1) Duration of program
The provisions of this section shall be effec-
tive, subject to the provisions of paragraph (2),
only during the 3-year period beginning upon
the commencement of the first fiscal year for
which amounts are provided pursuant to para-
graph (2)(A).
(2) Annual fiscal limitations
(A) In general
In each fiscal year during the 3-year period
referred to in paragraph (1), the provisions of
this section shall apply only—
(i) to such extent or in such amounts as
are provided in appropriations Acts for any
losses resulting during the fiscal year from
the sale of properties under this section,
except that such amounts for losses may
not exceed $30,000,000 in any fiscal year;
and
(ii) to the extent that amounts are pro-
vided in appropriations Acts pursuant to
subparagraph (C) for any other costs relat-
ing to the program under this section.
(B) Definition of losses
For
purposes
of
this
paragraph,
the
amount of losses resulting from the sale of
properties under this section during any fis-
cal year shall be the amount equal to the
sum of any affordable housing discounts rea-
sonably anticipated to accrue during the fis-
cal year.
(C) Authorization of appropriations
There are authorized to be appropriated,
for each fiscal year during the 3-year period
referred to in paragraph (1), such sums as
may be necessary for any costs of the pro-
gram under this section other than losses re-
sulting from the sale of properties under this
section.
(D) Other definitions
For purposes of this paragraph:
(i) Affordable housing discount
The term ‘‘affordable housing discount’’
means, with respect to any eligible resi-
dential or eligible condominium property
transferred under this section by the Cor-
poration, the difference (if any) between
the realizable disposition value of the
property and the actual sale price of the
property under this section.
(ii) Realizable disposition value
The term ‘‘realizable disposition value’’
means the estimated sale price that the
Corporation reasonably would be able to
obtain upon the sale of a property by the
Corporation under the provisions of this
chapter, not including this section, and
any other applicable laws. Not later than
the expiration of the 120-day period begin-
ning upon the commencement of the first
fiscal year for which amounts are provided
pursuant to paragraph (2)(A), the Corpora-
tion shall establish, and publish in the
Federal Register, procedures for deter-
mining the realizable disposition value of
a property transferred under this section,
which shall take into consideration such
factors as the Corporation considers appro-
priate, including the actual sale prices of
properties disposed of by the Resolution
Trust Corporation under section 1441a(c) 1
of this title, the prices of other properties
sold under similar programs, and the ap-
praised value of the property transferred
under this section. Until such procedures
are established, the Corporation may con-
sider the realizable disposition value of
any eligible residential or condominium
property to be equal to the appraised value
of the property.
(3) Existing contracts
The provisions of this section shall not apply
to any eligible residential property or any eli-
gible condominium property that is subject to
an agreement entered into by the Corporation
before the commencement of the first fiscal
year for which amounts are provided pursuant
to paragraph (2)(A) that provides for any other
disposition of the property.
(c) Rules governing disposition of eligible single
family properties
(1) Notice to clearinghouses
Within a reasonable period of time after ac-
quiring title to an eligible single family prop-
Page 1175
TITLE 12—BANKS AND BANKING
§ 1831q
erty, the Corporation shall provide written no-
tice to clearinghouses. Such notice shall con-
tain basic information about the property, in-
cluding but not limited to location, condition,
and information relating to the estimated fair
market value of the property. Each clearing-
house shall make such information available,
upon request, to other public agencies, other
nonprofit organizations, and qualifying house-
holds. The Corporation shall allow public
agencies, nonprofit organizations, and quali-
fying households reasonable access to eligible
single family property for purposes of inspec-
tion.
(2) Offers to sell to nonprofit organizations,
public agencies, and qualifying households
During the 180-day period beginning on the
date on which the Corporation makes an eligi-
ble single family property available for sale,
the Corporation shall offer to sell the property
to—
(A) qualifying households (including quali-
fying households with members who are vet-
erans); or
(B) public agencies or nonprofit organiza-
tions that agree to (i) make the property
available for occupancy by and maintain it
as affordable for low-income families (in-
cluding low-income families with members
who are veterans) for the remaining useful
life of such property, or (ii) make the prop-
erty available for purchase by any such fam-
ily who, except as provided in paragraph (4),
agrees to occupy the property as a principal
residence for at least 12 months and certifies
in writing that the family intends to occupy
the property for at least 12 months.
The restrictions described in clause (i) of sub-
paragraph (B) shall be contained in the deed or
other recorded instrument. If, upon the expira-
tion of such 180-day period, no qualifying
household, public agency, or nonprofit organi-
zation has made a bona fide offer to purchase
the property, the Corporation may offer to sell
the property to any purchaser. The Corpora-
tion shall actively market eligible single fam-
ily properties for sale to low-income families
and to low-income families with members who
are veterans.
(3) Recapture of profits from resale
Except as provided in paragraph (4), if any
eligible single family property sold (A) to a
qualifying household, or (B) to a low-income
family pursuant to paragraph (2)(B)(ii), sub-
section (j)(3)(A), or subsection (k)(2), is resold
by the qualifying household or low-income
family during the 1-year period beginning
upon initial acquisition by the household or
low-income family, the Corporation shall re-
capture 75 percent of the amount of any pro-
ceeds from the resale that exceed the sum of
(i) the original sale price for the acquisition of
the property by the qualifying household or
low-income family, (ii) the costs of any im-
provements to the property made after the
date of the acquisition, and (iii) any closing
costs in connection with the acquisition.
(4) Exceptions to recapture requirement
(A) Relocation
The Corporation may in its discretion
waive the applicability (i) to any qualifying
household of the requirement under para-
graph (3) and the requirements relating to
residency of a qualifying household under
subparagraphs (B) and (C) of subsection
(p)(12), and (ii) to any low-income family of
the requirement under paragraph (3) and the
residency
requirements
under
paragraph
(2)(B)(ii). The Corporation may grant any
such waiver only for good cause shown, in-
cluding any necessary relocation of the
qualifying household or low-income family.
(B) Other recapture provisions
The requirement under paragraph (3) shall
not apply to any eligible single family prop-
erty for which, upon resale by the qualifying
household or low-income family during the
1-year period beginning upon initial acquisi-
tion by the household or family, a portion of
the sale proceeds or any subsidy provided in
connection with the acquisition of the prop-
erty by the household or family is required
to be recaptured or repaid under any other
Federal, State, or local law (including sec-
tion 143(m) of title 26) or regulation or under
any sale agreement.
(5) Exception to avoid displacement of existing
residents
Notwithstanding the first sentence of para-
graph (2), during the 180-day period following
the date on which the Corporation makes an
eligible single family property available for
sale, the Corporation may sell the property to
the household residing in the property, but
only if (A) such household was residing in the
property at the time notice regarding the
property was provided to clearinghouses under
paragraph (1), (B) such sale is necessary to
avoid the displacement of, and unnecessary
hardship to, the resident household, (C) the
resident household intends to occupy the prop-
erty as a principal residence for at least 12
months, and (D) the resident household cer-
tifies in writing that the household intends to
occupy the property for at least 12 months.
(d) Rules governing disposition of eligible multi-
family housing properties
(1) Notice to clearinghouses
Within a reasonable period of time after ac-
quiring title to an eligible multifamily hous-
ing property, the Corporation shall provide
written notice to clearinghouses. Such notice
shall contain basic information about the
property, including but not limited to loca-
tion, number of units (identified by number of
bedrooms), and information relating to the es-
timated fair market value of the property.
Each clearinghouse shall make such informa-
tion available, upon request, to qualifying
multifamily purchasers. The Corporation shall
allow qualifying multifamily purchasers rea-
sonable access to eligible multifamily housing
properties for purposes of inspection.
(2) Expression of serious interest
Qualifying multifamily purchasers may give
written notice of serious interest in a property
Page 1176
TITLE 12—BANKS AND BANKING
§ 1831q
during a period ending 90 days after the time
the Corporation provides notice under para-
graph (1). The notice of serious interest shall
be in such form and include such information
as the Corporation may prescribe.
(3) Notice of readiness for sale
Upon the expiration of the period referred to
in paragraph (2) for a property, the Corpora-
tion shall provide written notice to any quali-
fying multifamily purchaser that has ex-
pressed serious interest in the property. Such
notice shall specify the minimum terms and
conditions for sale of the property.
(4) Offers by qualifying multifamily purchasers
A qualifying multifamily purchaser receiv-
ing notice in accordance with paragraph (3)
shall have 45 days (from the date notice is re-
ceived) to make a bona fide offer to purchase
the property. The Corporation shall accept an
offer that complies with the terms and condi-
tions established by the Corporation. If, before
the expiration of such 45-day period, any offer
to purchase a property initially accepted by
the Corporation is subsequently rejected or
fails (for any reason), the Corporation shall
accept another offer to purchase the property
made during such period that complies with
the terms and conditions established by the
Corporation (if such another offer is made).
The preceding sentence may not be construed
to require a qualifying multifamily purchaser
whose offer is accepted during the 45-day pe-
riod to purchase the property before the expi-
ration of the period.
(5) Extension of restricted offer periods
The Corporation may provide notice to
clearinghouses regarding, and offer for sale
under the provisions of paragraphs (1) through
(4), any eligible multifamily housing prop-
erty—
(A) in which no qualifying multifamily
purchaser has expressed serious interest dur-
ing the period referred to in paragraph (2), or
(B) for which no qualifying multifamily
purchaser has made a bona fide offer before
the expiration of the period referred to in
paragraph (4),
except that the Corporation may, in the dis-
cretion of the Corporation, alter the duration
of the periods referred to in paragraphs (2) and
(4) in offering any property for sale under this
paragraph.
(6) Sale of multifamily properties to other pur-
chasers
(A) Timing
If, upon the expiration of the period re-
ferred to in paragraph (2), no qualifying mul-
tifamily purchaser has expressed serious in-
terest in a property, the Corporation may
offer to sell the property, individually or in
combination with other properties, to any
purchaser.
(B) Limitation on combination sales
The Corporation may not sell in combina-
tion with other properties any property for
which a qualifying multifamily purchaser
has expressed serious interest in purchasing
individually.
(C) Expiration of offer period
If, upon the expiration of the period re-
ferred to in paragraph (4), no qualifying mul-
tifamily purchaser has made an offer to pur-
chase a property, the Corporation may offer
to sell the property, individually or in com-
bination with other properties, to any pur-
chaser.
(7) Low-income occupancy requirements
(A) Single property purchases
With respect to any purchase of a single
eligible multifamily housing property by a
qualifying
multifamily
purchaser
under
paragraph (4) or (5)—
(i) not less than 35 percent of all dwell-
ing units purchased shall be made avail-
able for occupancy by and maintained as
affordable for low-income and very low-in-
come families during the remaining useful
life of the property in which the units are
located; provided that
(ii) not less than 20 percent of all dwell-
ing units purchased shall be made avail-
able for occupancy by and maintained as
affordable for very low-income families
during the remaining useful life of the
property in which the units are located.
(B) Aggregation requirements for multiprop-
erty purchases
With respect to any purchase under para-
graph (4) or (5) by a qualifying multifamily
purchaser involving more than one eligible
multifamily housing property as a part of
the same negotiation, with respect to which
the purchaser intends to aggregate the low-
income occupancy required under this para-
graph over the total number of units so pur-
chased—
(i) not less than 40 percent of the aggre-
gate number of all dwelling units pur-
chased shall be made available for occu-
pancy by and maintained as affordable for
low-income and very low-income families
during the remaining useful life of the
building or structure in which the units
are located; provided that
(ii) not less than 20 percent of the aggre-
gate number of all dwelling units pur-
chased shall be made available for occu-
pancy by and maintained as affordable for
very low-income families during the re-
maining useful life of the building or
structure in which the units are located;
and further provided that
(iii) not less than 10 percent of the dwell-
ing units in each separate property pur-
chased shall be made available for occu-
pancy by and maintained as affordable for
low-income families during the remaining
useful life of the property in which the
units are located.
The requirements of this paragraph shall be
contained in the deed or other recorded instru-
ment.
(8) Exemptions
(A) Continued occupancy of current resi-
dents
No purchaser of an eligible multifamily
property may terminate the occupancy of
Page 1177
TITLE 12—BANKS AND BANKING
§ 1831q
any person residing in the property on the
date of purchase for purposes of meeting the
low-income occupancy requirement applica-
ble to the property under paragraph (7). The
purchaser shall be considered to be in com-
pliance with this subsection if each newly
vacant dwelling unit is reserved for low-in-
come occupancy until the low-income occu-
pancy requirement is met.
(B) Financial infeasibility
The Secretary or the State housing fi-
nance agency for the State in which an eligi-
ble multifamily housing property is located
may temporarily reduce the low-income oc-
cupancy requirements under paragraph (7)
applicable to the property, if the Secretary
or such agency determines that an owner’s
compliance with such requirements is no
longer financially feasible. The owner of the
property shall make a good-faith effort to
return low-income occupancy to the level re-
quired under paragraph (7), and the Sec-
retary or the State housing finance agency,
as appropriate, shall review the reduction
annually to determine whether financial in-
feasibility continues to exist.
(e) Rent limitations
(1) In general
With respect to properties under paragraph
(2), rents charged to tenants for units made
available for occupancy by very low-income
families shall not exceed 30 percent of the ad-
justed income of a family whose income equals
50 percent of the median income for the area,
as determined by the Secretary, with adjust-
ment for family size. Rents charged to tenants
for units made available for occupancy by low-
income families other than very low-income
families shall not exceed 30 percent of the ad-
justed income of a family whose income equals
65 percent of the median income for the area,
as determined by the Secretary, with adjust-
ment for family size.
(2) Applicability
The rent limitations under this subsection
shall apply to any eligible single family prop-
erty sold pursuant to subsection (c)(2)(B)(i)
and to any eligible multifamily housing prop-
erty sold pursuant to subsection (d).
(f) Preferences for sales
(1) In general
In selling any eligible multifamily housing
property or combinations of eligible residen-
tial properties, the Corporation shall give
preference, among substantially similar offers,
to the offer that would reserve the highest per-
centage of dwelling units for occupancy or
purchase by very low-income and low-income
families and would retain such affordability
for the longest term.
(2) Multiproperty purchases
The
Corporation
shall
give
preference,
among substantially similar offers made under
paragraph (4) or (5) of subsection (d) to pur-
chase more than one eligible multifamily
housing property as a part of the same nego-
tiation, to offers made by purchasers who
agree to maintain low-income occupancy in
each separate property purchased in compli-
ance with the levels required for properties
under subsection (d)(7)(A).
(3) Definition of substantially similar offers
For purposes of this subsection, a given offer
to purchase eligible multifamily housing prop-
erty or combinations of such properties shall
be considered to be substantially similar to
another offer if the purchase price under such
given offer is not less than 85 percent of the
purchase price under the other offer.
(g) Financing sales
(1) Assistance by Corporation
(A) Sale price
The Corporation shall establish a market
value for each eligible multifamily housing
property. The Corporation shall sell eligible
multifamily housing property at the net re-
alizable market value, except that the Cor-
poration may agree to sell eligible multi-
family housing property at a price below the
net realizable market value to the extent
necessary to facilitate an expedited sale of
such property and enable a public agency or
nonprofit organization to comply with the
low-income occupancy requirements applica-
ble to such property under subsection (d)(7).
The Corporation may sell eligible single
family property or eligible condominium
property to qualifying households, nonprofit
organizations, and public agencies without
regard to any minimum sale price.
(B) Purchase loan
The Corporation may provide a loan at
market interest rates to any purchaser of el-
igible residential property for all or a por-
tion of the purchase price, which loan shall
be secured by a first or second mortgage on
the property. The Corporation may provide
the loan at below market interest rates to
the extent necessary to facilitate an expe-
dited sale of eligible residential property and
permit (i) a low-income family to purchase
an eligible single family property under sub-
section (c), or (ii) a public agency or non-
profit organization to comply with the low-
income occupancy requirements applicable
to the purchase of an eligible residential
property under subsection (c) or (d). The
Corporation shall provide loans under this
subparagraph in a form permitting sale or
transfer of the loan to a subsequent holder.
In providing financing for combinations of
eligible
multifamily
housing
properties
under this section, the Corporation may hold
a participating share, including a subordi-
nate participation. The Corporation shall pe-
riodically provide, to a wide range of
minority- and women-owned businesses en-
gaged in providing affordable housing and to
nonprofit organizations, more than 50 per-
cent of the control of which is held by 1 or
more minority individuals, that are engaged
in providing affordable housing, information
that is sufficient to inform such businesses
and organizations of the availability and
terms of financing under this subparagraph;
Page 1178
TITLE 12—BANKS AND BANKING
§ 1831q
such information may be provided directly,
by notices published in periodicals and other
publications that regularly provide informa-
tion to such businesses or organizations, and
through persons and organizations that reg-
ularly provide information or services to
such businesses or organizations. For pur-
poses
of
this
subparagraph,
the
terms
‘‘women-owned business’’ and ‘‘minority-
owned business’’ have the meanings given
such terms in section 1441a(r) 1 of this title,
and the term ‘‘minority’’ has the meaning
given such term in section 1204(c)(3) of the
Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery,
and Enforcement Act of 1989.
(2) Assistance by HUD
The Secretary shall take such action as may
be necessary to expedite the processing of ap-
plications for assistance under section 202 of
the Housing Act of 1959 [12 U.S.C. 1701q], the
United States Housing Act of 1937 [42 U.S.C.
1437 et seq.], title IV of the McKinney-Vento
Homeless Assistance Act [42 U.S.C. 11360 et
seq.], and the National Housing Act [12 U.S.C.
1701 et seq.], to enable any organization or in-
dividual to purchase eligible residential prop-
erty.
(3) Assistance by FMHA
The Secretary of Agriculture shall take such
action as may be necessary to expedite the
processing of applications for assistance under
title V of the Housing Act of 1949 [42 U.S.C.
1471 et seq.] to enable any organization or indi-
vidual to purchase eligible residential prop-
erty.
(4) Exception to disposition rules
Notwithstanding the requirements under
paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (4), (6), and (8) of sub-
section (d), the Corporation may provide for
the disposition of eligible multifamily housing
properties as necessary to facilitate purchase
of such properties for use in connection with
section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959 [12
U.S.C. 1701q].
(5) Bulk acquisitions under Home Investment
Partnerships Act
(A) Purchase price
In providing for bulk acquisition of eligi-
ble single family properties by participating
jurisdictions for inclusion in affordable
housing activities under title II of the Cran-
ston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing
Act [42 U.S.C. 12721 et seq.], the Corporation
shall agree to an amount to be paid for ac-
quisition of such properties. The acquisition
price shall include discounts for bulk pur-
chase and for holding of the property such
that the acquisition price for each property
shall not exceed the fair market value of the
property, as valued individually.
(B) Exemptions
To the extent necessary to facilitate sale
of properties under this paragraph, the re-
quirements of subsections (c) and (f) and of
paragraph (1) of this subsection shall not
apply to such transactions and properties in-
volved in such transactions.
(C) Inventories
To facilitate acquisitions by such partici-
pating jurisdictions, the Corporation shall
provide the participating jurisdictions with
inventories of eligible single family prop-
erties not less than 4 times each year.
(h) Coordination with other programs
(1) Use of secondary market agencies
In the disposition of eligible residential
properties, the Corporation (in consultation
with the Secretary) shall explore opportuni-
ties to work with secondary market entities to
provide housing for low- and moderate-income
families.
(2) Credit enhancement
(A) In general
With respect to such properties, the Sec-
retary may, consistent with statutory au-
thorities, work through the Federal Housing
Administration, the Government National
Mortgage Association, the Federal National
Mortgage Association, the Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation, and other sec-
ondary market entities to develop risk-shar-
