gage insurance or guaranty operations of these corpora-
tions, or where loans or mortgage purchases are necessary

families, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Develop-
ment shall maintain any rental assistance payments under

tion 8, the Secretary may, in consultation with the tenants 
of that property, contract for project-based rental assist-
ance payments with an owner or owners of other existing 
housing properties or provide other rental assistance. 
SEC. 312. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision 
of law, the amount allocated for fiscal year 2006 under 
section 854(c) of the AIDS Housing Opportunity Act (42 
U.S.C. 12903(c)), to the City of Wilmington, Delaware, 
on behalf of the Wilmington, Delaware-Maryland-New 
Jersey Metropolitan Division (hereafter ‘‘metropolitan di-
vision’’), shall be adjusted by the Secretary of Housing

HR 3058 RS 
Jersey the proportion of the metropolitan division’s 
amount that is based on the number of cases of AIDS 
reported in the portion of the metropolitan division that 
is located in New Jersey, and adjusting for the proportion 
of the metropolitan division’s high incidence bonus if this 
area in New Jersey also has a higher than average per 
capita incidence of AIDS. The State of New Jersey shall 
use amounts allocated to the State under this subsection 
to carry out eligible activities under section 855 of the 
AIDS Housing Opportunity Act (42 U.S.C. 12904) in the 
portion of the metropolitan division that is located in New 
Jersey. 
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the

U.S.C. 12903(c)) to the City of Raleigh, North Carolina, 
on behalf of the Raleigh-Cary, North Carolina Metropoli-
tan Statistical Area. Any amounts allocated to Wake 
County shall be used to carry out eligible activities under 
section 855 of such Act (42 U.S.C. 12904) within such 
metropolitan statistical area. 
(c) Notwithstanding section 854(c) of the AIDS 
Housing Opportunity Act (42 U.S.C. 12903(c)), the Sec-
HR 3058 RS 
retary of Housing and Urban Development may adjust the 
allocation of the amounts that otherwise would be allo-
cated for fiscal year 2006 under section 854(c) of such 
Act, upon the written request of an applicant, in conjunc-
tion with the State(s), for a formula allocation on behalf 
of a metropolitan statistical area, to designate the State 
or States in which the metropolitan statistical area is lo-
cated as the eligible grantee(s) of the allocation. In the 
case that a metropolitan statistical area involves more 
than one State, such amounts allocated to each State shall 
be in proportion to the number of cases of AIDS reported 
in the portion of the metropolitan statistical area located 
in that State. Any amounts allocated to a State under this 
section shall be used to carry out eligible activities within 
the portion of the metropolitan statistical area located in 
that State. 
SEC. 313. Notwithstanding any other provision of 
law, for this fiscal year and every fiscal year thereafter, 
funds appropriated for housing for the elderly, as author-
ized by section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959, as amend-
ed, and for supportive housing for persons with disabil-
ities, as authorized by section 811 of the Cranston-Gon-
zalez National Affordable Housing Act, shall be available
