                million families, increasing by 4 percent between 1995 
                and 1997;
                    (3) the number of rental units which are affordable 
                to extremely low-income families has decreased by 5 
                percent since 1991, a loss of over 37,000 units;
                    (4) the Administration and the Department of 
                Housing and Urban Development has proposed increased 
                funding for incremental rental vouchers as the primary 
                solution to making additional housing available for 
                low-income and very low-income families;
                    (5) while section 8 vouchers represent housing 
                choice as a matter of philosophy, in many cases 
                families using vouchers have difficult time finding 
                housing, especially in low vacancy market areas;
                    (6) in many cases, where section 8 vouchers are 
                used, the result is de facto redlining where low-income 
                families are relegated to the poorest and most 
                distressed neighborhoods with limited opportunities for 
                transportation, employment and quality schools;
                    (7) section 8 vouchers do not produce additional 
                new units of affordable low-income housing since banks 
                will not finance new construction with one year termed 
                portable assistance;
                    (8) the Department of Housing and Urban Development 
                has not provided the necessary leadership to assist in 
                the development of needed affordable housing;
                    (9) a large number of States and local government 
                have been successful in developing new tools and 
                opportunities for the development of additional 
                affordable housing for low-income families, including 
                the development of affordable mixed income housing as 
                part of State and local redevelopment strategies for 
                distressed communities; and
                    (10) State housing finance agencies have the local 
                experience and knowledge to maximize the development of 
                additional units of affordable low-income housing and 
                to preserve the existing stock of low-income affordable 
                housing.
    (b) The purpose of this Act is to redirect the primary 
responsibility for the preservation of existing affordable low-income 
housing and the expansion of the inventory of affordable rental housing 
for very low-income and low-income families from the Federal Government 
to State and local governments through State housing finance agencies.

TITLE I--PRODUCTION OF NEW HOUSING FOR LOW AND VERY LOW-INCOME FAMILIES

    Sec. 101. .--The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall 
make funds available to State housing finance agencies as provided 
under section 102 for the rehabilitation of existing low-income 
housing, for the development of new affordable low-income housing 
units, and for the preservation of existing low-income housing units 
that are at risk of becoming unavailable for low-income families.
    Sec. 102. Allocation of Resources.--
            (a) In general.--The Secretary shall allocate funds 
        approved in appropriations Acts to State housing finance 
        agencies to carry out this Title. Subject to the requirements 
        of subsection (b) and as otherwise provided in this subsection, 
        each State housing finance agency shall be eligible to receive 
        an amount of funds equal to the proportion of the per capita 
        population of the State in relation to the population of the 
        United States which shall be determined on the basis of the 
        most recent decennial census for which data are available. For 
        each fiscal year, the Secretary shall reserve for grants to 
        Indian tribes 1 percent of the amount appropriated under the 
        applicable appropriations Act. The Secretary shall provide for 
        distribution of amounts under this subsection to Indian tribes 
        on the basis of a competition conducted pursuant to specific 
        criteria developed after notice and public comment.
            (b) Minimum state allocation.--If the allocation under 
        subsection (a), when applied to the funds approved under this 
        section in appropriations Acts for a fiscal year, would result 
        in funding of less than $10,000,000 to any State housing 
        finance agency, the allocation for such State housing finance 
        agency shall be $10,000,000 and the increase shall be deducted 
        pro rata from the allocation of all other State housing finance 
        agencies.
            (c) Criteria for reallocation.--The Secretary shall 
        reallocate any funds previously allocated to a State housing 
        finance agency for any fiscal year in which the State housing 
        finance agency fails to provide its match requirements or fails 
        to submit an affordable housing expansion plan that is approved 
        by the Secretary. All such funds shall be reallocated pursuant 
        to the formula provided under subsection (a).
    Sec. 103. Affordable Housing Expansion Plan.--
            (a) Submission of affordable housing expansion plan.--The 
        Secretary shall allocate funds under section 102 to a State 
        housing finance agency only if the State housing finance agency 
        has submitted an affordable housing expansion plan, with annual 
        updates, approved by the Secretary and designed to meet the 
        overall very low- and low-income housing needs of both the 
        rural and urban areas of the State in which the State housing 
        finance agency is located. This plan shall be developed in 
        conjunction with the housing strategies developed for the 
        applicable States and localities under section 105 of Cranston-
        Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act.
            (b) Citizen participation.--Before submitting an affordable 
        housing expansion plan to the Secretary, a State housing 
        finance agency shall--
                    (1) make available to citizens of the State, public 
                agencies and other interested parties information 
                regarding the amount of assistance expected to be made 
                available under this Title and the range of investment 
                or other uses of such assistance that the State housing 
                finance agency may undertake;
                    (2) publish the proposed plan in a manner that, in 
                the determination of the Secretary, affords affected 
                citizens, public agencies, and other interested parties 
                a reasonable opportunity to review its contents and to 
                submit comments on the proposed plan;
                    (3) hold one or more public hearings to obtain the 
                views of citizens, public agencies, and other 
                interested parties on the housing needs of the State; 
                and
                    (4) provide citizens, public agencies, and other 
                interested parties with reasonable access to records 
                regarding the uses of any assistance that the State

title shall be used for--
            (1) the acquisition, new construction, reconstruction, or 
        moderate or substantial rehabilitation of affordable housing 
        for mixed income rental housing where the assistance provided

        and very low-income families, including the elderly and persons 
        with disabilities;
            (2) the moderate and substantial rehabilitation of rental 
        housing units that are currently assisted under State or 
        Federal low-income housing programs;
            (3) the preservation of Federal and State low-income 
        housing units that are at risk of being no longer affordable to 
        low-income families;
            (4) the purchase and creation of land trusts to allow low- 
        and moderate-income families an opportunity to rent homes in 
        areas of low-vacancy;
            (5) conversion of public housing to assisted living 
        facilities for the elderly;
            (6) conversion of section 202 elderly housing to assisted 
        living facilities for the elderly;
            (7) conversion of HUD-owned or HUD-held multifamily 
        properties upon disposition to housing for the elderly, housing 
        for persons with disabilities and to assisted living facilities 
        for the elderly;

        corporations and nonprofits are encouraged to develop 
        partnerships for the creation of affordable low-income housing.
    Sec. 105. Matching Requirements.--

        throughout a fiscal year, not less than 75 percent of the funds

                        qualifies as affordable housing under section 
                        107; or
                            (B) is made with respect to any portion of 
                        a project for which not less than 50 percent of 
                        the units qualify as affordable housing under

                    (2) Form.--A contribution may be in the form of--
                            (A) cash contributions from non-Federal

                        Revenue Code;
                            (B) the value of taxes, fees or other 
                        charges that are normally and customarily 
                        imposed but are waived, forgone, or deferred in 
                        a manner that achieves affordability of housing

                            (C) the value of land or other real

                        the site-preparation for, construction or 
                        rehabilitation of affordable housing; and
                            (F) such other contributions to affordable

                    (3) Administrative expenses.--Contributions for 
                administrative expenses may not be recognized for 
                purposes of this section.
    Sec. 106. Distribution of Assistance.--Each State housing finance 
agency shall ensure that the development of new housing under this 
section is designed to meet both urban and rural needs, and prioritize

            (a) Production of affordable housing.--In the case of new 
        construction, housing shall qualify for assistance under this 
        title only if the housing--
                    (1) has not less than 30 percent of the units 
                assisted under this title occupied by very low-income 
                families who pay as a contribution towards rent (not 
                including any Federal or State rental subsidy provided 
                on behalf of the family) not more than 20 percent of 
                the adjusted income of a family whose income equals 50 
                percent of the median income for the area, as 
                determined by the Secretary, with adjustments for the 
                number of bedrooms in the unit, except that the 
                Secretary may establish income ceilings higher or lower 
                than 50 percent of the median income for the area on 
                the basis of the Secretary's findings that variations 
                are necessary because of the prevailing levels of 
                construction costs or fair market rents, or unusually 
                high or low family incomes;
                    (2) except as provided under paragraph (1), 
                requires all units assisted under this title to be 
                occupied by households that are low-income families and 
                who pay no more than 30 percent of 100 percent of the 
                median income for an area; and
                    (3) will remain affordable under the requirements 
                provided in paragraphs (1) and (2), according to 
                legally binding commitments satisfactory to the 
                Secretary, for not less than 40 years, without regard 
                to the term of the mortgage or to the transfer of 
                ownership, or for such period that the Secretary 
                determines is the longest feasible period of time 
                consistent with sound economics and the purposes of 
                this Act, including foreclosure where the 
                responsibility for maintaining the low-income character 
                of the property will be the responsibility of the State 
                housing finance agency.
    Sec. 108. Tenant Selection.--An owner of any housing assisted under 
this Title shall establish tenant selection procedures consistent with 
the affordable housing expansion plan of the State housing finance 
agency.
    Sec. 109. Prohibition on Use of Funds for Service Coordinators or 
Supportive Services.--No funds under this Act may be used for service 
coordinators or supportive services.
    Sec. 110. Penalties for Misuse of Funds.--The Secretary shall 
recapture any assistance awarded under this Title to the extent the 
assistance has been used for impermissible purposes. To the extent the 
Secretary identifies a pattern and practice regarding the misuse of 
funds awarded under this Title, the Secretary shall deny assistance to 
that State for up to 5 years, subject to notice and an opportunity for 
judicial review.
    Sec. 111. Subsidy Layering Requirements.--The requirements of 
section 102(d) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development 
Reform Act of 1989 may be satisfied in connection with assistance, 
including a commitment to insure a mortgage, provided under this Title 
by a certification of a State housing finance agency to the Secretary 
that the combination of assistance within the jurisdiction of the 
Secretary and other government assistance provided in connection with a 
property assisted under this Title shall not be any greater than is 
necessary to provide affordable housing.
    Sec. 112. Multifamily Risk-sharing Mortgage Insurance Program.--The 
Secretary shall carry out a mortgage insurance program through the 
Federal Housing Administration in conjunction with State housing 
finance agencies to insure multifamily mortgages for housing that 
qualifies under this Title. This program shall be consistent with the 
requirements established under section 542 of the Housing and Community 
Development Act of 1992, except that housing that meet the requirements 
of this Title shall be eligible for mortgage insurance.
    Sec. 113. Regulations.--The Secretary shall issue notice and 
comment rulemaking with final regulations issued no later than 6 months 
after the date of enactment of this Act.
    Sec. 114. Sunset.--Title I shall expire on October 1, 2001, except 
that all funds shall remain available until expended.

           TITLE II--SECTION 8 VOUCHER SUCCESS DEMONSTRATION

    Sec. 201. Authority.--The Secretary shall establish a voucher 
success demonstration to permit public housing agencies to increase the 
payment standard for section 8 vouchers for an area in excess of the 
payment standard established under section 8(o)(B) of the United States 
Housing Act of 1937 to assist in helping low-income and very low-income 
families obtain housing in tight rental markets. Except as otherwise 
provided herein, all assistance provided under this Title shall be 
subject to the requirements of the United States Housing Act of 1937.
    Sec. 202. Eligibility.--
            (a) Voucher success plan.--Not less than annually, each 
        public housing agency that seeks to participate in the voucher 
        success demonstration under section 201 shall submit to the 
        Secretary a voucher success plan that--
                    (1) demonstrates that the market area for which the 
                public housing agency is responsible is an area, based 
                on housing market indicators, such as low vacancy rates 
                or high absorption rates, where there is not adequate 
                available and affordable housing or where families with 
                vouchers will not be able to locate suitable units or 
                use tenant-based assistance successfully;
                    (2) identifies a payment standard in excess of the 
                payment standard established under section 8(o)(B) that 
                will ensure that not less than 97 percent of families 
                with vouchers will be able to obtain suitable housing 
                in that market area within 120 days;
                    (3) describes actions that the public housing 
                agency will take that will assist families with 
                vouchers, including seniors and persons with 
                disabilities, to identify and obtain suitable and 
                available affordable housing that is close to 
                transportation, employment opportunities, quality 
                schools and appropriate services; and
                    (4) shall include such other information and 
                commitments as deemed appropriate by the Secretary.
            (b) Increased payment standard.--The Secretary shall 
        approve a payment standard for a market area under this 
        demonstration to no more than 150 percent of the payment 
        standard established under section 8(o)(B) of the United States 
        Housing Act of 1937. This payment standard shall be published 
        annually in the Federal Register and adjusted annually to 
        reflect changes in each market area.
            (c) Procedures.--The Secretary shall establish requirements 
        and procedures for the submission and review of voucher success
