        projects.
            (9) If the transferring project meets the requirements of

States Housing Act of 1937 or other Federal programs, the Secretary

United States Housing Act of 1937 and other programs that are attached

determines, in consultation with the tenants and the local government, 
that such a multifamily property owned or held by the Secretary is not 
feasible for continued rental assistance payments under such section 8 
or other programs, based on consideration of (1) the costs of

State, and local resources, including rent adjustments under section 
524 of the Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 
1997 (``MAHRAA'') and (2) environmental conditions that cannot be 
remedied in a cost-effective fashion, the Secretary may, in 
consultation with the tenants of that property, contract for project-
based rental assistance payments with an owner or owners of other 
existing housing properties, or provide other rental assistance. The 
Secretary shall also take appropriate steps to ensure that project-
based contracts remain in effect prior to foreclosure, subject to the 
exercise of contractual abatement remedies to assist relocation of 
tenants for imminent major threats to health and safety after written 
notice to and informed consent of the affected tenants and use of other 
available remedies, such as partial abatements or receivership. After 
disposition of any multifamily property described under this section, 
the contract and allowable rent levels on such properties shall be 
subject to the requirements under section 524 of MAHRAA.
    Sec. 217.  During fiscal year 2014, in the provision of rental 
assistance under section 8(o) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 
(42 U.S.C. 1437f(o)) in connection with a program to demonstrate the

assistance pursuant to section 8(o)(18) of such Act, may be required, 
at the time the family initially receives such assistance, to pay rent 
in an amount exceeding 40 percent of the monthly adjusted income of the 
family by such a percentage or amount as the Secretary of Housing and 
Urban Development determines to be appropriate.
    Sec. 218.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the

unnumbered paragraph at the end of section 202(b) of such Act, may, at

private nonprofit organization described in section 831 of the American 
Homeownership and Economic Opportunity Act of 2000.

notes, or other obligations issued by any State on behalf of non-
entitlement communities in the State in accordance with the 
requirements of section 108 of the Housing and Community Development 
Act of 1974: Provided, That any State receiving such a guarantee or 
commitment shall distribute all funds subject to such guarantee to the 
units of general local government in non-entitlement areas that 
received the commitment.
    Sec. 220.  Public housing agencies that own and operate 400 or 
fewer public housing units may elect to be exempt from any asset 
management requirement imposed by the Secretary of Housing and Urban 
Development in connection with the operating fund rule: Provided, That 
an agency seeking a discontinuance of a reduction of subsidy under the 
operating fund formula shall not be exempt from asset management 
requirements.

management of public housing as authorized by sections 9(d) and 9(e) of 
the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g(d) and (e)), the 
Secretary shall not impose any requirement or guideline relating to 
asset management that restricts or limits in any way the use of capital 
funds for central office costs pursuant to section 9(g)(1) or 9(g)(2) 
of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g(g)(1), (2)):

the status of all section 8 project-based housing, including the number 
of all project-based units by region as well as an analysis of all 
federally subsidized housing being refinanced under the Mark-to-Market 
program. The Secretary shall in the report identify all existing units 
maintained by region as section 8 project-based units and all project-
based units that have opted out of section 8 or have otherwise been 
eliminated as section 8 project-based units. The Secretary shall 
identify in detail and by project all the efforts made by the 
Department to preserve all section 8 project-based housing units and 
all the reasons for any units which opted out or otherwise were lost as 
section 8 project-based units. Such analysis shall include a review of 
the impact of the loss of any subsidized units in that housing 
marketplace, such as the impact of cost and the loss of available 
subsidized, low-income housing in areas with scarce housing resources 
for low-income families.
    Sec. 224.  The Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban

conditions:
            (1) The Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation (``NRC'') 
        shall make grants to counseling intermediaries approved by the 
        Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) (with match 
        to be determined by the NRC based on affordability and the 
        economic conditions of an area; a match also may be waived by 
        the NRC based on the aforementioned conditions) to provide 
        mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance primarily to States 
        and areas with high rates of defaults and foreclosures to help 
        eliminate the default and foreclosure of mortgages of owner-
        occupied single-family homes that are at risk of such 
        foreclosure. Other than areas with high rates of defaults and 
        foreclosures, grants may also be provided to approved 
        counseling intermediaries based on a geographic analysis of the 
        Nation by the NRC which determines where there is a prevalence 
        of mortgages that are risky and likely to fail, including any 
        trends for mortgages that are likely to default and face 
        foreclosure. A State Housing Finance Agency may also be 
        eligible where the State Housing Finance Agency meets all the 
        requirements under this paragraph. A HUD-approved counseling 
        intermediary shall meet certain mortgage foreclosure mitigation 
        assistance counseling requirements, as determined by the NRC, 
        and shall be approved by HUD or the NRC as meeting these 
        requirements.
            (2) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance shall only 
        be made available to homeowners of owner-occupied homes with 
        mortgages in default or in danger of default. These mortgages 
        shall likely be subject to a foreclosure action and homeowners 
        will be provided such assistance that shall consist of 
        activities that are likely to prevent foreclosures and result 
        in the long-term affordability of the mortgage retained 
        pursuant to such activity or another positive outcome for the 
        homeowner. No funds made available under this paragraph may be 
        provided directly to lenders or homeowners to discharge 
        outstanding mortgage balances or for any other direct debt 
        reduction payments.
            (3) The use of Mortgage Foreclosure Mitigation Assistance 
        by approved counseling intermediaries and State Housing Finance 
        Agencies shall involve a reasonable analysis of the borrower's 
        financial situation, an evaluation of the current value of the 
        property that is subject to the mortgage, counseling regarding 
        the assumption of the mortgage by another non-Federal party, 
        counseling regarding the possible purchase of the mortgage by a 
        non-Federal third party, counseling and advice of all likely 
        restructuring and refinancing strategies or the approval of a 
        work-out strategy by all interested parties.
            (4) NRC may provide up to 15 percent of the total funds 
        under this paragraph to its own charter members with expertise 
        in foreclosure prevention counseling, subject to a 
        certification by the NRC that the procedures for selection do 
        not consist of any procedures or activities that could be 
        construed as an unacceptable conflict of interest or have the 
        appearance of impropriety.
            (5) HUD-approved counseling entities and State Housing 
        Finance Agencies receiving funds under this paragraph shall 
        have demonstrated experience in successfully working with 
        financial institutions as well as borrowers facing default, 
        delinquency and foreclosure as well as documented counseling 
        capacity, outreach capacity, past successful performance and 
        positive outcomes with documented counseling plans (including 
        post mortgage foreclosure mitigation counseling), loan workout 
        agreements and loan modification agreements. NRC may use other 
        criteria to demonstrate capacity in underserved areas.
            (6) Of the total amount made available under this 
        paragraph, up to $3,000,000 may be made available to build the 
        mortgage foreclosure and default mitigation counseling capacity 
        of counseling intermediaries through NRC training courses with 
        HUD-approved counseling intermediaries and their partners, 
        except that private financial institutions that participate in 
        NRC training shall pay market rates for such training.
            (7) Of the total amount made available under this 
        paragraph, up to 6 percent may be used for associated 
        administrative expenses for the NRC to carry out activities 
        provided under this section.
            (8) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance grants may 
        include a budget for outreach and advertising, and training, as 
        determined by the NRC.
            (9) The NRC shall continue to report bi-annually to the 
        House and Senate Committees on Appropriations as well as the 
        Senate Banking Committee and House Financial Services Committee 
        on its efforts to mitigate mortgage default.
