11 that (in whole or in part) are funded by the agency’s 

12 programs and Federal discretionary funds that are 

13 involved in the Pilot, and

14 (I) the statutory purposes of the 

15 Federal program for which such discre16 tionary funds were appropriated, and

19 for the homeowner. No funds made available under 

20 this paragraph may be provided directly to lenders or 

21 homeowners to discharge outstanding mortgage bal22 ances or for any other direct debt reduction payments.

12 members with expertise in foreclosure prevention 

13 counseling, subject to a certification by the NRC that

6 this paragraph, up to $3,000,000 may be made avail7 able to build the mortgage foreclosure and default 

8 mitigation counseling capacity of counseling inter9 mediaries through NRC training courses with HUD10 approved counseling intermediaries and their part11 ners, except that private financial institutions that 

12 participate in NRC training shall pay market rates 

13 for such training. 

14 (7) Of the total amount made available under 

15 this paragraph, up to 5 percent may be used for asso16 ciated administrative expenses for the NRC to carry
