For each of fiscal years 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021, the Secretary shall ensure that a grantee that received an allocation in the prior fiscal year does not receive an allocation that is 5 percent less than or 10 percent greater than the amount allocated to such grantee in the preceding fiscal year.
(iii) the written agreement does not exceed a term of 10 years.
An agreement approved pursuant to subparagraph (A) may be renewed by the parties with the approval of the Secretary.
In this paragraph, the term "alternative grantee" means a public housing agency (as defined in section 1437a(b) of this title), a unified funding agency (as defined in section 11360 of this title), a State, a unit of general local government, or an instrumentality of State or local government.

For the purpose of subparagraph (A)(ii), in selecting projects of national significance the Secretary shall consider (i) the need to assess the effectiveness of a particular model for providing supportive housing for eligible persons; (ii) the innovative nature of the proposed activity; and (iii) the potential replicability of the proposed activity in other similar localities or nationally.
(6) such other information or certifications that the Secretary determines to be necessary to achieve the purposes of this section.
In addition to the other requirements of this section, to be eligible for a grant to a metropolitan area under this section, the major city, urban county, and any city with a population of 50,000 or more in that metropolitan area shall establish or designate a governmental agency or organization for receipt and use of amounts received from a grant under this section and shall submit to the Secretary, together with the application under subsection (d) a proposal for the operation of such agency or organization.
In addition to the other requirements of this section, to be eligible for a grant pursuant to subsection (c)(1), a city shall provide such assurances as the Secretary may require that any grant amounts received will be allocated among eligible activities in a manner that addresses the needs within the metropolitan statistical area in which the city is located, including areas not within the jurisdiction of the city. Any such city shall coordinate with other units of general local government located within the metropolitan statistical area to provide such assurances and comply with the assurances.
Section 12705 of this title, referred to in subsec. (c)(2)(A)(ii), (3)(A)(I), was in the original "section 105" or "section 105 of this Act", meaning section 105 of the AIDS Housing Opportunity Act, and was translated as meaning section 105 of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, to reflect the probable intent of Congress. The AIDS Housing Opportunity Act does not contain a section 105.
2016—Subsec. (c). Pub. L. 114–201 added pars. (1) to (4), redesignated former par. (3) as (5), and struck out former pars. (1) and (2) which related to formula allocation and minimum grant, respectively.
1992—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 102–550, §606(d)(1), substituted ", units of general local government, and nonprofit organizations" for "and units of general local government".
Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 102–550, §606(d)(2), added subsec. (b) and struck out former subsec. (b) which read as follows: "Eligibility.—A jurisdiction shall be eligible to receive a grant only if it has obtained an approved housing strategy (or an approved abbreviated housing strategy) in accordance with section 12705 of this title. A grantee shall carry out activities authorized under this chapter through contracts with project sponsors, except that a grantee that is a State shall obtain the approval of the unit of general local government for the locality in which a project is to be located prior to entering into such contracts."
"(B) 25 percent among units of general local government in metropolitan statistical areas with populations in excess of 500,000 and more than 1,500 cases of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, that have a higher than average per capita incidence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome."
Subsec. (c)(3). Pub. L. 102–550, §606(d)(4)(A), substituted "Nonformula allocation" for "Noneligible grantees" in heading.
"(ii) to fund special projects of national significance."
Subsec. (c)(3)(B), (C). Pub. L. 102–550, §606(j)(2), substituted "eligible persons" for "persons with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome" wherever appearing.
Subsec. (d). Pub. L. 102–550, §606(d)(5), substituted "applications submitted by applicants and approved by the Secretary" for "approvable applications submitted by eligible applicants" in first sentence.
Subsec. (e). Pub. L. 102–550, §606(d)(6), substituted "other requirements of this section" for "requirements of subsection (b) of this section".
