tion of public housing or the development off-site of

ing units developed off-site replaces no less than an

project. Loans or other obligations entered into pursu-
ant to this subsection shall be in such form and de-
nominations, have such maturities, and be subject to
such conditions as may be prescribed by regulations
issued by the Secretary.
‘‘(2) The Secretary may prohibit a public hous-
ing agency from obtaining a loan under this sub-
section only if the rehabilitation or replacement hous-
ing proposed by a public housing agency is incon-
sistent with its Public Housing Agency Plan, as sub-
mitted under section 5A, or the proposed terms of the
guaranteed loan constitutes an unacceptable financial
