HR 4194 RDS
‘‘(A) 
NEW
APPLICANTS.—Each 
public
housing agency that owns or operates 250 or
more public housing dwelling units and has—
‘‘(i) submitted an application to the
Secretary for a grant for such fiscal year,
which includes a 5-year crime deterrence
and reduction plan under paragraph (2);
and
‘‘(ii) had such application and plan
approved by the Secretary.
‘‘(B) RENEWALS.—Each public housing
agency that owns or operates 250 or more pub-
lic housing dwelling units and for which—

terrence and reduction plan applicable to

paragraph (4), that during the preceding
fiscal year the agency has substantially ful-
417
HR 4194 RDS
filled the requirements under subpara-
graphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (4).
Notwithstanding subparagraphs (A) and (B), the
Secretary may make a grant under this chapter to
a public housing agency that owns or operates 250
or more public housing dwelling units only if the
agency includes in the application for the grant in-
formation that demonstrates, to the satisfaction of
the Secretary, that the agency has a need for the
grant amounts based on generally recognized crime
statistics showing that (I) the crime rate for the
public housing developments of the agency (or the
immediate neighborhoods in which such develop-
ments are located) is higher than the crime rate for
the jurisdiction in which the agency operates, (II)
the crime rate for the developments (or such neigh-
borhoods) is increasing over a period of sufficient
duration to indicate a general trend, or (III) the op-
eration of the program under this chapter substan-
tially contributes to the reduction of crime.
‘‘(2) 5-YEAR CRIME DETERRENCE AND REDUC-
TION
PLAN.—Each application for a grant under

rence and reduction plan. The plan shall be devel-
oped with the participation of residents and appro-
418

priate law enforcement officials. The plan shall de-
scribe, for the public housing agency submitting the
plan—
‘‘(A) the nature of the crime problem in
public housing owned or operated by the public
housing agency;
‘‘(B) the building or buildings of the public
housing agency affected by the crime problem;
‘‘(C) the impact of the crime problem on
residents of such building or buildings; and
‘‘(D) the actions to be taken during the
term of the plan to reduce and deter such
crime, which shall include actions involving resi-
dents, law enforcement, and service providers.
The term of a plan shall be the period consisting of
5 consecutive fiscal years, which begins with the first
fiscal year for which funding under this chapter is
provided to carry out the plan.
‘‘(3) AMOUNT.—In any fiscal year, the amount
of the grant for a public housing agency receiving a
grant pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be the
amount that bears the same ratio to the total
amount made available under section 5131(b)(1) as
the total number of public dwelling units owned or
operated by such agency bears to the total number
419
HR 4194 RDS
of dwelling units owned or operated by all public
housing agencies that own or operate 250 or more
public housing dwelling units that are approved for
such fiscal year.
‘‘(4) PERFORMANCE REVIEW.—For each fiscal
year, the Secretary shall conduct a performance re-
view of the activities carried out by each public
housing agency receiving a grant pursuant to this
subsection to determine whether the agency—
‘‘(A) has carried out such activities in a
timely manner and in accordance with its 5-
year crime deterrence and reduction plan; and

out such plan in a timely manner.
‘‘(5) SUBMISSION OF APPLICATIONS.—The Sec-
retary shall establish such deadlines and require-
ments for submission of applications under this sub-

crime deterrence and reduction plan are inconsistent
with the purposes of this chapter or any require-
ments established by the Secretary or the informa-
420
HR 4194 RDS
tion in the application or plan is not substantially
complete. Upon approving or determining not to ap-
prove an application and plan submitted under this
subsection, the Secretary shall notify the public
housing agency submitting the application and plan
of such approval or disapproval.
‘‘(7) DISAPPROVAL OF APPLICATIONS.—If the
Secretary notifies an agency that the application and
plan of the agency is not approved, not later than
the expiration of the 15-day period beginning upon
such notice of disapproval, the Secretary shall also
notify the agency, in writing, of the reasons for the
disapproval, the actions that the agency could take
to comply with the criteria for approval, and the
deadlines for such actions.
‘‘(8) FAILURE TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE.—
If the Secretary fails to notify an agency of approval
or disapproval of an application and plan submitted
under this subsection before the expiration of the
60-day period beginning upon the submission of the
plan or fails to provide notice under paragraph (7)
within the 15-day period under such paragraph to
an agency whose application has been disapproved,
