any other Federal programs, the Secretary shall maintain 
any rental assistance payments under section 8 of the 
United States Housing Act of 1937 and other programs that 
are attached to any dwelling units in the property. To the 
extent the Secretary determines, in consultation with the 
tenants and the local government that such a multifamily 
property owned or having a mortgage held by the Secretary 
is not feasible for continued rental assistance payments 
under such section 8 or other programs, based on consider-
ation of (1) the costs of rehabilitating and operating the 
property and all available Federal, State, and local re-
sources, including rent adjustments under section 524 of the 
Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability 
Act of 1997 (in this section ‘‘MAHRAA’’) (42 U.S.C. 1437f
824 
note), and (2) environmental conditions that cannot be rem-
edied in a cost-effective fashion, the Secretary may, in con-
sultation with the tenants of that property, contract for 
project-based rental assistance payments with an owner or 
owners of other existing housing properties, or provide other 
rental assistance. The Secretary shall also take appropriate 
steps to ensure that project-based contracts remain in effect 
prior to foreclosure, subject to the exercise of contractual 
abatement remedies to assist relocation of tenants for immi-
nent major threats to health and safety after written notice 
to and informed consent of the affected tenants and use of 
other available remedies, such as partial abatements or re-
ceivership. After disposition of any multifamily property 
described in this section, the contract and allowable rent 
levels on such properties shall be subject to the requirements 
under section 524 of MAHRAA. 
SEC. 213. Public housing agencies that own and oper-

Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g(d), (e)), the Sec-
retary shall not impose any requirement or guideline relat-
ing to asset management that restricts or limits in any way 
the use of capital funds for central office costs pursuant to 
paragraph (1) or (2) of section 9(g) of the United States 
Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g(g)(1), (2)): Provided, 
That a public housing agency may not use capital funds 
authorized under section 9(d) for activities that are eligible 
under section 9(e) for assistance with amounts from the op-
erating fund in excess of the amounts permitted under 
paragraph (1) or (2) of section 9(g). 
SEC. 215. No official or employee of the Department 
of Housing and Urban Development shall be designated as 
an allotment holder unless the Office of the Chief Financial 
Officer has determined that such allotment holder has im-
plemented an adequate system of funds control and has re-
ceived training in funds control procedures and directives. 
The Chief Financial Officer shall ensure that there is a 
trained allotment holder for each HUD appropriation 
under the accounts ‘‘Executive Offices’’, ‘‘Administrative 
Support Offices’’, ‘‘Program Offices’’, ‘‘Government Na-
tional Mortgage Association—Guarantees of Mortgage- 
Backed Securities Loan Guarantee Program Account’’, and

SEC. 216. The Secretary shall, for fiscal year 2024, 
notify the public through the Federal Register and other 
means, as determined appropriate, of the issuance of a no-

opportunity (NOFO) for any program or discretionary 
fund administered by the Secretary that is to be competi-
tively awarded. Notwithstanding any other provision of

priation for any such office under such headings shall be 
increased or decreased by more than 10 percent or

tions, as determined by the Secretary, and comply with any 
standards under applicable State or local laws, rules, ordi-
nances, or regulations relating to the physical condition of 
any property covered under a housing assistance payment 
contract. 
(b) The Secretary shall take action under subsection 
(c) when a multifamily housing project with a contract 
under section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 
(42 U.S.C. 1437f) or a contract for similar project-based 
assistance— 
(1) receives a failing score under the Uniform

(2) fails to certify in writing to the Secretary 
within 3 days that all Exigent Health and Safety de-
ficiencies, or those deficiencies requiring correction

project have been corrected.
828 
Such requirements shall apply to insured and non-
insured projects with assistance attached to the units under 
section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42

specified timetable, determined by the Secretary, for cor-
recting all deficiencies. The Secretary shall provide a copy 
of the Notice of Default to the tenants, the local government, 
any mortgagees, and any contract administrator. If the 
owner’s appeal results in a passing score, the Secretary may 
withdraw the Notice of Default. 
(2) At the end of the time period for correcting all defi-
ciencies specified in the Notice of Default, if the owner fails 
to fully correct such deficiencies, the Secretary may— 
(A) require immediate replacement of project 
management with a management agent approved by 
the Secretary; 
(B) impose civil money penalties, which shall be 
used solely for the purpose of supporting safe and
829

quired repairs and to accept renewal of the assistance 
contract if such renewal is offered; 
(E) transfer the existing section 8 contract to an-
other project or projects and owner or owners; 
(F) pursue exclusionary sanctions, including

third-party that requires time to effectuate; or
830 
(I) take any other regulatory or contractual rem-

relocation of tenants for major threats to health and safety 
after written notice to the affected tenants. To the extent

and the local government, that the property is not feasible 
for continued rental assistance payments under such section 
8 or other programs, based on consideration of— 
(1) the costs of rehabilitating and operating the 
property and all available Federal, State, and local 
resources, including rent adjustments under section 
524 of the Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and 
Affordability Act of 1997 (‘‘MAHRAA’’); and

igible for medical assistance under the State 
Medicaid program or child health assistance or
904 
pregnancy-related assistance under the State 
CHIP. 
(4) ALLOCATION OF GRANT FUNDS.—In deter-
mining the amount of a grant to award to a State

tention facilities) and were eligible for medical 
assistance under a State Medicaid program at 
any time in calendar year 2022.

tutions in the State (such as State prisons, local

tinuity of care for such individuals).

is an inmate of a public institution and is 
eligible for medical assistance under a State 
Medicaid program or for child health assist-
ance or pregnancy-related assistance under
