is authorized by Section 202(b) of the Housing Act of 1959 (12 U.S.C. 
1701q-2). Section 202b was amended to provide grants for ``substantial 
capital repairs to eligible multifamily projects with elderly tenants 
that are needed to rehabilitate, modernize, or retrofit aging 
structures, common areas or individual dwelling units.'' HUD accepted 
applications on a first-come, first-serve basis and awarded emergency 
capital repair grants until available amounts were expended.
    The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for this program 
is 14.315.
    The Emergency Capital Repair Grant is designed to provide funds to 
make emergency capital repairs to eligible

multifamily projects owned by private nonprofit entities designated for 
occupancy by elderly tenants. The capital repair needs must relate to 
items that present an immediate threat to the health, safety, and 
quality of life of the tenants. The intent of these grants is to 
provide one-time assistance for emergency items that could not be 
absorbed within the project's operating budget and other project 
resources.
    A total of $8,763,592 was awarded to 36 projects and 3,340 units. 
In accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing
