    Council or Mayor of the District of Columbia from addressing the issue
    of the provision of contraceptive coverage by health insurance plans,

    issue should include a ``conscience clause'' which provides exceptions

                (6) State action.--Nothing in this subsection prohibits an
            affected State from establishing a State notice requirement in
            the event of a discharge that is more stringent than the
            requirements described in this subsection.

                    of such taxes; or
                        (B) the foreign policy interests of the United

                    that United States assistance is not subject to
                    taxation.
                (2) The Secretary of State shall consult with the

            States foreign assistance for such country generally, or an
            individual agreement between the Government of the United

            States assistance provided under that agreement; and
                (2) the term ``taxes and taxation'' shall include value
            added taxes and customs duties but shall not include individual

    by this or any other Act may be extended for an additional fiscal year
    if the Secretary of State or the USAID Administrator, as appropriate,
    determines and reports promptly to the Committees on Appropriations
    that the termination of assistance to a country or a significant change
    in circumstances makes it unlikely that such designated funds can be
    obligated during the original period of availability:  Provided, That
    such designated funds that continue to be available for an additional
    fiscal year shall be obligated only for the purpose of such
    designation.

        Sec. 7035.  It is the sense of the Congress that--
                (1) the Arab League boycott of Israel, and the secondary
            boycott of American firms that have commercial ties with
            Israel, is an impediment to peace in the region and to United
            States investment and trade in the Middle East and North
            Africa;
                (2) the Arab League boycott, which was regrettably
            reinstated in 1997, should be immediately and publicly
            terminated, and the Central Office for the Boycott of Israel
            immediately disbanded;

            their neighbor Israel;
                (4) the President and the Secretary of State should
            continue to vigorously oppose the Arab League boycott of Israel
            and find concrete steps to demonstrate that opposition by, for
            example, taking into consideration the participation of any
            recipient country in the boycott when determining to sell
            weapons to said country; and
                (5) the President should report to Congress annually on
            specific steps being taken by the United States to encourage
            Arab League states to normalize their relations with Israel to
            bring about the termination of the Arab League boycott of
            Israel, including those to encourage allies and trading
            partners of the United States to enact laws prohibiting
            businesses from complying with the boycott and penalizing
            businesses that do comply.

                    terrorism and terrorist financing in the West Bank and
                    Gaza, including the dismantling of terrorist
                    infrastructures, and is cooperating with appropriate
                    Israeli and other appropriate security organizations;
                    and
                (2) the Palestinian Authority (or the governing entity of a
            new Palestinian state) is working with other countries in the
            region to vigorously pursue efforts to establish a just,
            lasting, and comprehensive peace in the Middle East that will
            enable Israel and an independent Palestinian state to exist
            within the context of full and normal relationships, which
            should include--
                        (A) termination of all claims or states of
                    belligerency;
                        (B) respect for and acknowledgment of the
                    sovereignty, territorial integrity, and political
                    independence of every state in the area through
                    measures including the establishment of demilitarized
                    zones;

                    force;
                        (D) freedom of navigation through international
                    waterways in the area; and

                    the refugee problem.
        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
    governing entity should enact a constitution assuring the rule of law,
    an independent judiciary, and respect for human rights for its
    citizens, and should enact other laws and regulations assuring
    transparent and accountable governance.
        (c) Waiver.--The President may waive subsection (a) if the
    President determines that it is important to the national security
    interest of the United States to do so.

    to assistance intended to help reform the Palestinian Authority and

    International Monetary Fund (the Fund) that includes the following:
                (1) An analysis of recent changes to the surveillance
            products and policies of the Fund and whether those products

            surveillance by the Fund in the periods preceding the global
            financial crisis that began in 2008 and the European debt
            crisis that began in 2009.
                (2) A discussion of ways to better encourage countries to
            implement policy recommendations of the Fund, including--
                        (A) whether the implementation rate of such policy
                    recommendations would increase if the Fund provided
                    regular status reports on whether countries have
                    implemented its policy recommendations; and
                        (B) whether or not lending by the Fund should be
                    limited to countries that have taken necessary steps to
                    implement such policy recommendations, including an
                    analysis of the potential effectiveness of that
                    limitation.
                (3) An analysis of the transparency policy of the Fund,
            ways that transparency policy can be improved, and whether such

                (4) A detailed analysis of the riskiness of exceptional
            access loans provided by the Fund, including--
                        (A) whether the additional interest rate surcharge
                    is working as intended to discourage large and
                    prolonged use of resources of the Fund; and
                        (B) whether it would be beneficial for the Fund to
                    require collateral when making exceptional access
                    loans, and how requiring collateral would affect the
                    make-up of exceptional access loans and the demand for
                    such loans.
                (5) A description of how the classification of loans
            provided by the Fund would change if Fund quotas were increased
            under the amendments to the Articles of Agreement of the Fund
            proposed in resolution 66-2 of the Board of Governors of the
            Fund, including an assessment of how the quota increase would
            affect the classification of exceptional access loans
            outstanding as of the date of the report and whether the quota
            increase would lead to revisions of the classification of such
            loans.
                (6) A discussion and analysis of lessons learned from the
            lending arrangements that included the Fund, the European
            Commission, and the European Central Bank (commonly referred to
            as the ``Troika'') during the European debt crisis.
                (7) An analysis of the risks or benefits of increasing the
            transparency of the technical assistance projects of the Fund,
            including a discussion of--
                        (A) the advantages and disadvantages of the current
                    technical assistance disclosure policies of the Fund;
                        (B) how technical assistance from the Fund could be
                    better used to prevent crises from happening in the
                    future; and
                        (C) whether and how the Fund coordinates technical
                    assistance projects with other organizations, including
                    the United States Department of the Treasury, to avoid
                    duplication of efforts.

    amount was originally designated or directed notifies the Secretary of
    Transportation of its intent to use its authority under this section
    and submits a quarterly report to the Secretary identifying the
    projects to which the funding would be applied. Notwithstanding the
    original period of availability of funds to be obligated under this
    section, such funds and associated obligation limitation shall remain

        (c) The authority under subsection (a) may be exercised only for
    those projects or activities that have obligated less than 10 percent
    of the amount made available for obligation as of the effective date of
    this Act, and shall be applied to projects within the same general
    geographic area within 50 miles for which the funding was designated,
    except that a State or territory may apply such authority to unexpended
    balances of funds from projects or activities the State or territory
    certifies have been closed and for which payments have been made under
    a final voucher.

            satisfy such hiring preference; and
                (3) that any increase in the cost of labor, training, or

            agreements, from the agencies' calendar year 2016 MTW funding
            allocation:  Provided further, That the Secretary shall use any
            offset referred to in the previous two provisos throughout the
            calendar year to prevent the termination of rental assistance

            determined by the Secretary, and to avoid or reduce the
            proration of renewal funding allocations:  Provided further,
            That up to $75,000,000 shall be available only: (1) for
            adjustments in the allocations for public housing agencies,
            after application for an adjustment by a public housing agency

            Secretary, in renewal costs of vouchers resulting from
            unforeseen circumstances or from portability under section 8(r)
            of the Act; (2) for vouchers that were not in use during the
            previous 12-month period in order to be available to meet a
            commitment pursuant to section 8(o)(13) of the Act; (3) for
            adjustments for costs associated with HUD-Veterans Affairs

            required to terminate rental assistance for families as a
            result of insufficient funding:  Provided further, That the
            Secretary shall allocate amounts under the previous proviso

            imminent health and safety risk to residents:  Provided

    housing project or projects to another multifamily housing project or

        (b) Phased Transfers.--Transfers of project-based assistance under

        (c) The transfer authorized in subsection (a) is subject to the
    following conditions:
                (1) Number and bedroom size of units.--

                    the configuration (i.e., bedroom size) provided by the
                    transferring project shall be no less than when
                    transferred to the receiving project or projects and
                    the net dollar amount of Federal assistance provided to
                    the transferring project shall remain the same in the
                    receiving project or projects.
                        (B) For unoccupied units in the transferring
                    project: The Secretary may authorize a reduction in the
                    number of dwelling units in the receiving project or
                    projects to allow for a reconfiguration of bedroom
                    sizes to meet current market demands, as determined by
                    the Secretary and provided there is no increase in the
                    project-based assistance budget authority.
                (2) The transferring project shall, as determined by the
            Secretary, be either physically obsolete or economically
            nonviable.
                (3) The receiving project or projects shall meet or exceed
            applicable physical standards established by the Secretary.
                (4) The owner or mortgagor of the transferring project
            shall notify and consult with the tenants residing in the
            transferring project and provide a certification of approval by
            all appropriate local governmental officials.
                (5) The tenants of the transferring project who remain
            eligible for assistance to be provided by the receiving project
            or projects shall not be required to vacate their units in the
            transferring project or projects until new units in the
            receiving project are available for occupancy.
                (6) The Secretary determines that this transfer is in the
            best interest of the tenants.
                (7) If either the transferring project or the receiving
            project or projects meets the condition specified in subsection
            (d)(2)(A), any lien on the receiving project resulting from
            additional financing obtained by the owner shall be subordinate
            to any FHA-insured mortgage lien transferred to, or placed on,
            such project by the Secretary, except that the Secretary may
            waive this requirement upon determination that such a waiver is
            necessary to facilitate the financing of acquisition,
            construction, and/or rehabilitation of the receiving project or
            projects.
                (8) If the transferring project meets the requirements of
            subsection (d)(2), the owner or mortgagor of the receiving
            project or projects shall execute and record either a
            continuation of the existing use agreement or a new use
            agreement for the project where, in either case, any use
            restrictions in such agreement are of no lesser duration than
            the existing use restrictions.
                (9) The transfer does not increase the cost (as defined in
            section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as
            amended) of any FHA-insured mortgage, except to the extent that
            appropriations are provided in advance for the amount of any
            such increased cost.

    determines, in consultation with the tenants and the local government,
    that such a multifamily property owned or held by the Secretary is not

    rehabilitating and operating the property and all available Federal,
    State, and local resources, including rent adjustments under section

    1997 (``MAHRAA'') and (2) environmental conditions that cannot be

    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 imminent 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 receivership. After
    disposition of any multifamily property described under this section,
    the contract and allowable rent levels on such properties shall be
    subject to the requirements under section 524 of MAHRAA.
        Sec. 217.  The commitment authority funded by fees as provided
    under the heading ``Community Development Loan Guarantees Program
    Account'' may be used to guarantee, or make commitments to guarantee,

    Act of 1974:  Provided, That any State receiving such a guarantee or

    an agency seeking a discontinuance of a reduction of subsidy under the

    the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g(d) and (e)), the
    Secretary shall not impose any requirement or guideline relating to
    asset management that restricts or limits in any way the use of capital
    funds for central office costs pursuant to section 9(g)(1) or 9(g)(2)
    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 operating fund in
    excess of the amounts permitted under section 9(g)(1) or 9(g)(2).
        Sec. 220.  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

    The Chief Financial Officer shall ensure that there is a trained
    allotment holder for each HUD sub-office under the accounts ``Executive
    Offices'' and ``Administrative Support Offices,'' as well as each
    account receiving appropriations for ``Program Office Salaries and
    Expenses'', ``Government National Mortgage Association--Guarantees of
    Mortgage-Backed Securities Loan Guarantee Program Account'', and
    ``Office of Inspector General'' within the Department of Housing and
    Urban Development.
        Sec. 221.  The Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban
    Development shall, for fiscal year 2016, notify the public through the
    Federal Register and other means, as determined appropriate, of the
    issuance of a notice of the availability of assistance or notice of
    funding availability (NOFA) for any program or discretionary fund
    administered by the Secretary that is to be competitively awarded.
    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for fiscal year 2016, the
    Secretary may make the NOFA available only on the Internet at the
    appropriate Government web site or through other electronic media, as
    determined by the Secretary.
        Sec. 222.  Payment of attorney fees in program-related litigation
    shall be paid from the individual program office and Office of General
    Counsel salaries and expenses appropriations. The annual budget
    submission for the program offices and the Office of General Counsel
    shall include any such projected litigation costs for attorney fees as
    a separate line item request. No funds provided in this title may be
    used to pay any such litigation costs for attorney fees until the
    Department submits for review a spending plan for such costs to the
    House and Senate Committees on Appropriations.
        Sec. 223.  The Secretary is authorized to transfer up to 10 percent
    or $4,000,000, whichever is less, of funds appropriated for any office

    any other such office or account:  Provided, That no appropriation for
    any such office or account shall be increased or decreased by more than
    10 percent or $4,000,000, whichever is less, without prior written
    approval of the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations:
    Provided further, That the Secretary shall provide notification to such

    section 904 of the McKinney Act for the purpose of income verifications
    and matching.
        Sec. 225. (a) The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall
    take the required actions under subsection (b) when a multifamily
    housing project with a section 8 contract or contract for similar
    project-based assistance:
                (1) receives a Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) score
            of 30 or less; or
                (2) receives a REAC score between 31 and 59 and:
                        (A) fails to certify in writing to HUD within 60
                    days that all deficiencies have been corrected; or
                        (B) receives consecutive scores of less than 60 on
                    REAC inspections.
    Such requirements shall apply to insured and noninsured projects with
    assistance attached to the units under section 8 of the United States
    Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f), but do not apply to such units
    assisted under section 8(o)(13) (42 U.S.C. 1437f(o)(13)) or to public
    housing units assisted with capital or operating funds under section 9
    of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g).
        (b) The Secretary shall take the following required actions as
    authorized under subsection (a):
                (1) The Secretary shall notify the owner and provide an
            opportunity for response within 30 days. If the violations
            remain, the Secretary shall develop a Compliance, Disposition
            and Enforcement Plan within 60 days, with a specified timetable
            for correcting all deficiencies. The Secretary shall provide
            notice of the Plan to the owner, tenants, the local government,
            any mortgagees, and any contract administrator.
                (2) At the end of the term of the Compliance, Disposition
            and Enforcement Plan, if the owner fails to fully comply with
            such plan, the Secretary may require immediate replacement of
            project management with a management agent approved by the
            Secretary, and shall take one or more of the following actions,
            and provide additional notice of those actions to the owner and
            the parties specified above:
                        (A) impose civil money penalties;
                        (B) abate the section 8 contract, including partial
                    abatement, as determined by the Secretary, until all
                    deficiencies have been corrected;
                        (C) pursue transfer of the project to an owner,
                    approved by the Secretary under established procedures,
                    which will be obligated to promptly make all required
                    repairs and to accept renewal of the assistance
                    contract as long as such renewal is offered; or
                        (D) seek judicial appointment of a receiver to
                    manage the property and cure all project deficiencies
                    or seek a judicial order of specific performance
                    requiring the owner to cure all project deficiencies.
        (c) The Secretary shall also take appropriate steps to ensure that
    project-based contracts remain in effect, subject to the exercise of
    contractual abatement remedies to assist relocation of tenants for
    imminent major threats to health and safety after written notice to and
    informed consent of the affected tenants and use of other remedies set
    forth above. To the extent the Secretary determines, in consultation
    with the tenants 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 (2) environmental conditions that cannot be
    remedied in a cost-effective fashion, the Secretary may, in
    consultation 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 report semi-annually on all properties covered by this
    section that are assessed through the Real Estate Assessment Center and
    have physical inspection scores of less than 30 or have consecutive
    physical inspection scores of less than 60. The report shall include:
                (1) The enforcement actions being taken to address such
            conditions, including imposition of civil money penalties and
            termination of subsidies, and identify properties that have
            such conditions multiple times; and
                (2) Actions that the Department of Housing and Urban
            Development is taking to protect tenants of such identified
            properties.
        Sec. 226.  None of the funds made available by this Act, or any
    other Act, for purposes authorized under section 8 (only with respect
    to the tenant-based rental assistance program) and section 9 of the
    United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.), may be used
    by any public housing agency for any amount of salary, including
    bonuses, for the chief executive officer of which, or any other
    official or employee of which, that exceeds the annual rate of basic

    time during any public housing agency fiscal year 2016.

    U.S.C. 1437v) is amended--
                (1) in subsection (m)(1), by striking ``fiscal year'' and
            all that follows through the period at the end and inserting
            ``fiscal year 2016.''; and
                (2) in subsection (o), by striking ``September'' and all
            that follows through the period at the end and inserting
            ``September 30, 2016.''.
        Sec. 229.  None of the funds in this Act provided to the Department
    of Housing and Urban Development may be used to make a grant award
    unless the Secretary notifies the House and Senate Committees on
    Appropriations not less than 3 full business days before any project,
    State, locality, housing authority, tribe, nonprofit organization, or
    other entity selected to receive a grant award is announced by the
    Department or its offices.
        Sec. 230.  None of the funds made available by this Act may be used
    to require or enforce the Physical Needs Assessment (PNA).
        Sec. 231.  None of the funds made available by this Act nor any
    receipts or amounts collected under any Federal Housing Administration
    program may be used to implement the Homeowners Armed with Knowledge
    (HAWK) program.
        Sec. 232.  None of the funds made available in this Act shall be
    used by the Federal Housing Administration, the Government National
    Mortgage Administration, or the Department of Housing and Urban
    Development to insure, securitize, or establish a Federal guarantee of
    any mortgage or mortgage backed security that refinances or otherwise
    replaces a mortgage that has been subject to eminent domain
    condemnation or seizure, by a State, municipality, or any other
    political subdivision of a State.
        Sec. 233.  None of the funds made available by this Act may be used

    grants under section 106 of such Act (42 U.S.C. 5306).
        Sec. 234.  Amounts made available under this Act which are either
    appropriated, allocated, advanced on a reimbursable basis, or
    transferred to the Office of Policy Development and Research in the
    Department of Housing and Urban Development and functions thereof, for
    research, evaluation, or statistical purposes, and which are unexpended
    at the time of completion of a contract, grant, or cooperative
    agreement, may be deobligated and shall immediately become available
    and may be reobligated in that fiscal year or the subsequent fiscal
    year for the research, evaluation, or statistical purposes for which
    the amounts are made available to that Office subject to reprogramming
    requirements in section 405 of this Act.
        Sec. 235.  Subsection (b) of section 225 of the Cranston-Gonzalez
    National Affordable Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 12755) is amended by adding
    at the end the following new sentence: ``Such 30-day waiting period is
    not required if the grounds for the termination or refusal to renew
    involve a direct threat to the safety of the tenants or employees of
    the housing, or an imminent and serious threat to the property (and the
    termination or refusal to renew is in accordance with the requirements
    of State or local law).''.
        Sec. 236.  None of the funds under this title may be used for
    awards, including performance, special act, or spot, for any employee

    from work.
        Sec. 237.  The language under the heading ``Rental Assistance

    Appropriations Act, 2012 (Public Law 112-55) is amended:
                (1) In proviso eighteen, by inserting ``for fiscal year
            2012 and hereafter,'' after ``Provided further, That''; and
                (2) In proviso nineteen, by striking ``, which may extend
            beyond fiscal year 2016 as necessary to allow processing of all

        ``(c) The Secretary may establish an exception to any minimum
    property standard established under this section in order to address
    alternative water systems, including cisterns, which meet requirements
    of State and local building codes that ensure health and safety
    standards.''.
        Sec. 239.  The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall
    increase, pursuant to this section, the number of Moving to Work
    agencies authorized under section 204, title II, of the Departments of
    Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development and Independent
    Agencies Appropriations Act, 1996 (Public Law 104-134; 110 Stat. 1321)
    by adding to the program 100 public housing agencies that are
    designated as high performing agencies under the Public Housing
    Assessment System (PHAS) or the Section Eight Management Assessment
    Program (SEMAP). No public housing agency shall be granted this
    designation through this section that administers in excess of 27,000
    aggregate housing vouchers and public housing units. Of the agencies
    selected under this section, no less than 50 shall administer 1,000 or
    fewer aggregate housing voucher and public housing units, no less than
    47 shall administer 1,001-6,000 aggregate housing voucher and public
    housing units, and no more than 3 shall administer 6,001-27,000
    aggregate housing voucher and public housing units. Of the 100 agencies
    selected under this section, five shall be agencies with portfolio
    awards under the Rental Assistance Demonstration that meet the other
    requirements of this section, including current designations as high
    performing agencies or such designations held immediately prior to such
    portfolio awards. Selection of agencies under this section shall be
    based on ensuring the geographic diversity of Moving to Work agencies.
    In addition to the preceding selection criteria, agencies shall be
    designated by the Secretary over a 7-year period. The Secretary shall
    establish a research advisory committee which shall advise the
    Secretary with respect to specific policy proposals and methods of
    research and evaluation for the demonstration. The advisory committee
    shall include program and research experts from the Department, a fair
    representation of agencies with a Moving to Work designation, and
    independent subject matter experts in housing policy research. For each
    cohort of agencies receiving a designation under this heading, the
    Secretary shall direct one specific policy change to be implemented by
    the agencies, and with the approval of the Secretary, such agencies may
    implement additional policy changes. All agencies designated under this
    section shall be evaluated through rigorous research as determined by
    the Secretary, and shall provide information requested by the Secretary
    to support such oversight and evaluation, including the targeted policy
    changes. Research and evaluation shall be coordinated under the
    direction of the Secretary, and in consultation with the advisory
    committee, and findings shall be shared broadly. The Secretary shall
    consult the advisory committee with respect to policy changes that have
    proven successful and can be applied more broadly to all public housing
    agencies, and propose any necessary statutory changes. The Secretary
    may, at the request of a Moving to Work agency and one or more adjacent
    public housing agencies in the same area, designate that Moving to Work
    agency as a regional agency. A regional Moving to Work agency may
    administer the assistance under sections 8 and 9 of the United States
    Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f and g) for the participating
    agencies within its region pursuant to the terms of its Moving to Work
    agreement with the Secretary. The Secretary may agree to extend the
    term of the agreement and to make any necessary changes to accommodate
    regionalization. A Moving to Work agency may be selected as a regional
    agency if the Secretary determines that unified administration of
    assistance under sections 8 and 9 by that agency across multiple
    jurisdictions will lead to efficiencies and to greater housing choice
    for low-income persons in the region. For purposes of this expansion,
    in addition to the provisions of the Act retained in section 204,
    section 8(r)(1) of the Act shall continue to apply unless the Secretary
    determines that waiver of this section is necessary to implement
    comprehensive rent reform and occupancy policies subject to evaluation
    by the Secretary, and the waiver contains, at a minimum, exceptions for
    requests to port due to employment, education, health and safety. No
    public housing agency granted this designation through this section
    shall receive more funding under sections 8 or 9 of the United States
    Housing Act of 1937 than it otherwise would have received absent this
    designation. The Secretary shall extend the current Moving to Work
    agreements of previously designated participating agencies until the
    end of each such agency's fiscal year 2028 under the same terms and
    conditions of such current agreements, except for any changes to such
    terms or conditions otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Secretary and
    any such agency and such extension agreements shall prohibit any
    statutory offset of any reserve balances equal to 4 months of operating
    expenses. Any such reserve balances that exceed such amount shall
    remain available to any such agency for all permissible purposes under
    such agreement unless subject to a statutory offset. In addition to
    other reporting requirements, all Moving to Work agencies shall report
    financial data to the Department of Housing and Urban Development as
    specified by the Secretary, so that the effect of Moving to Work policy
    changes can be measured.
        Sec. 240. (a) Authority.--Subject to the conditions in subsection
    (d), the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may authorize, in
    response to requests received in fiscal years 2016 through 2020, the
    transfer of some or all project-based assistance, tenant-based
    assistance, capital advances, debt, and statutorily required use
    restrictions from housing assisted under section 811 of the Cranston-
    Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 8013) to other new
    or existing housing, which may include projects, units, and other types
    of housing, as permitted by the Secretary.
        (b) Capital Advances.--Interest shall not be due and repayment of a
    capital advance shall not be triggered by a transfer pursuant to this
    section.
        (c) Phased and Proportional Transfers.--
                (1) Transfers under this section may be done in phases to
            accommodate the financing and other requirements related to
            rehabilitating or constructing the housing to which the
            assistance is transferred, to ensure that such housing meets
            the conditions under subsection (d).
                (2) The capital advance repayment requirements, use
            restrictions, rental assistance, and debt shall transfer
            proportionally from the transferring housing to the receiving
            housing.
        (d) Conditions.--The transfers authorized by this section shall be
    subject to the following conditions:
                (1) the owner of the transferring housing shall demonstrate
            that the transfer is in compliance with applicable Federal,
            State, and local requirements regarding Housing for Persons
            with Disabilities and shall provide the Secretary with evidence
            of obtaining any approvals related to housing disabled persons
            that are necessary under Federal, State, and local government
            requirements;
                (2) the owner of the transferring housing shall demonstrate
            to the Secretary that any transfer is in the best interest of
            the disabled residents by offering opportunities for increased
            integration or less concentration of individuals with
            disabilities;
                (3) the owner of the transferring housing shall continue to
            provide the same number of units as approved for rental
            assistance by the Secretary in the receiving housing;
                (4) the owner of the transferring housing shall consult
            with the disabled residents in the transferring housing about
            any proposed transfer under this section and shall notify the
            residents of the transferring housing who are eligible for
            assistance to be provided in the receiving housing that they
            shall not be required to vacate the transferring housing until
            the receiving housing is available for occupancy;
                (5) the receiving housing shall meet or exceed applicable
            physical standards established or adopted by the Secretary; and
                (6) if the receiving housing has a mortgage insured under
            title II of the National Housing Act, any lien on the receiving
            housing resulting from additional financing shall be
            subordinate to any federally insured mortgage lien transferred
            to, or placed on, such housing, except that the Secretary may
            waive this requirement upon determination that such a waiver is
            necessary to facilitate the financing of acquisition,
            construction, or rehabilitation of the receiving housing.
        (e) Public Notice.--The Secretary shall publish a notice in the
    Federal Register of the terms and conditions, including criteria for
    the Department's approval of transfers pursuant to this section no
    later than 30 days before the effective date of such notice.
        Sec. 241. (a) Of the unobligated balances, including recaptures and
    carryover, remaining from funds appropriated to the Department of
    Housing and Urban Development under the heading ``General and Special
    Risk Program Account'', and for the cost of guaranteed notes and other
    obligations under the heading ``Native American Housing Block Grants'',
    $12,000,000 is hereby permanently rescinded.
        (b) All unobligated balances, including recaptures and carryover,
    remaining from funds appropriated to the Department of Housing and
    Urban Development under the headings ``Rural Housing and Economic
    Development'', and ``Homeownership and Opportunity for People
    Everywhere Grants'' are hereby permanently rescinded.
        Sec. 242.  Funds made available in this title under the heading
    ``Homeless Assistance Grants'' may be used by the Secretary to
    participate in Performance Partnership Pilots authorized in an
    appropriations Act for fiscal year 2016 as initially authorized under
    section 526 of division H of Public Law 113-76 and extended under
    section 524 of division G of Public Law 113-235:  Provided, That such
    participation shall be limited to no more than 10 continuums of care
    and housing activities to improve outcomes for disconnected youth.
        Sec. 243.  With respect to grant amounts awarded under the heading
    ``Homeless Assistance Grants'' for fiscal years 2015 and 2016 for the
    Continuum of Care (CoC) program as authorized under subtitle C of title
    IV of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, costs paid by program
    income of grant recipients may count toward meeting the recipient's
    matching requirements, provided the costs are eligible CoC costs that
    supplement the recipients CoC program.
        Sec. 244.  With respect to funds appropriated under the ``Community
    Development Fund'' heading for formula allocation to states pursuant to
    42 U.S.C. 5306(d), the Secretary shall permit a jurisdiction to
    demonstrate compliance with 42 U.S.C. 5305(c)(2)(A) if it had been
    designated as majority low- and moderate-income pursuant to data from
    the 2000 decennial Census and it continues to have economic distress as
    evidenced by inclusion in a designated Rural Promise Zone or Distressed
    County as defined by the Appalachian Regional Commission. This section
    shall apply to any such state funds appropriated under such heading
    under this Act, in each fiscal year from 2017 through 2020, and under
    prior appropriation Acts (with respect to any such allocated but
    uncommitted funds available to any such state).
        This title may be cited as the ``Department of Housing and Urban
    Development Appropriations Act, 2016''.

                     Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation

              payment to the neighborhood reinvestment corporation

        For payment to the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation for use in
    neighborhood reinvestment activities, as authorized by the Neighborhood
    Reinvestment Corporation Act (42 U.S.C. 8101-8107), $135,000,000, of
    which $5,000,000 shall be for a multi-family rental housing program:
    Provided, That in addition, $40,000,000 shall be made available until
    expended to the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation for mortgage
    foreclosure mitigation activities, under the following terms and
    conditions:
                (1) The Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation (NRC) shall
            make grants to counseling intermediaries approved by the
            Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) (with match
            to be determined by NRC based on affordability and the economic
            conditions of an area; a match also may be waived by NRC based
            on the aforementioned conditions) to provide mortgage
            foreclosure mitigation assistance primarily to States and areas
            with high rates of defaults and foreclosures to help eliminate
            the default and foreclosure of mortgages of owner-occupied
            single-family homes that are at risk of such foreclosure. Other
            than areas with high rates of defaults and foreclosures, grants
            may also be provided to approved counseling intermediaries
            based on a geographic analysis of the Nation by NRC which
            determines where there is a prevalence of mortgages that are
            risky and likely to fail, including any trends for mortgages
            that are likely to default and face foreclosure. A State
            Housing Finance Agency may also be eligible where the State
            Housing Finance Agency meets all the requirements under this
            paragraph. A HUD-approved counseling intermediary shall meet
            certain mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance counseling
            requirements, as determined by NRC, and shall be approved by
            HUD or NRC as meeting these requirements.
                (2) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance shall only
            be made available to homeowners of owner-occupied homes with
            mortgages in default or in danger of default. These mortgages
            shall likely be subject to a foreclosure action and homeowners
            will be provided such assistance that shall consist of
            activities that are likely to prevent foreclosures and result
            in the long-term affordability of the mortgage retained
            pursuant to such activity or another positive outcome for the
            homeowner. No funds made available under this paragraph may be
            provided directly to lenders or homeowners to discharge
            outstanding mortgage balances or for any other direct debt
            reduction payments.
                (3) The use of mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance
            by approved counseling intermediaries and State Housing Finance
            Agencies shall involve a reasonable analysis of the borrower's
            financial situation, an evaluation of the current value of the
            property that is subject to the mortgage, counseling regarding
            the assumption of the mortgage by another non-Federal party,
            counseling regarding the possible purchase of the mortgage by a
            non-Federal third party, counseling and advice of all likely
            restructuring and refinancing strategies or the approval of a
            work-out strategy by all interested parties.
                (4) NRC may provide up to 15 percent of the total funds
            under this paragraph to its own charter members with expertise
            in foreclosure prevention counseling, subject to a
            certification by NRC that the procedures for selection do not
            consist of any procedures or activities that could be construed
            as a conflict of interest or have the appearance of
            impropriety.
                (5) HUD-approved counseling entities and State Housing
            Finance Agencies receiving funds under this paragraph shall
            have demonstrated experience in successfully working with
            financial institutions as well as borrowers facing default,
            delinquency and foreclosure as well as documented counseling
            capacity, outreach capacity, past successful performance and
            positive outcomes with documented counseling plans (including
            post mortgage foreclosure mitigation counseling), loan workout
            agreements and loan modification agreements. NRC may use other
            criteria to demonstrate capacity in underserved areas.
                (6) Of the total amount made available under this
            paragraph, up to $2,000,000 may be made available to build the
            mortgage foreclosure and default mitigation counseling capacity
            of counseling intermediaries through NRC training courses with
            HUD-approved counseling intermediaries and their partners,
            except that private financial institutions that participate in
            NRC training shall pay market rates for such training.
                (7) Of the total amount made available under this
            paragraph, up to 5 percent may be used for associated
            administrative expenses for NRC to carry out activities
            provided under this section.
                (8) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance grants may
            include a budget for outreach and advertising, and training, as
            determined by NRC.
                (9) NRC shall continue to report bi-annually to the House
            and Senate Committees on Appropriations as well as the Senate
            Banking Committee and House Financial Services Committee on its
            efforts to mitigate mortgage default.

                                    this section.

                            excess of, 30 percent of the total compensatory

                            this Fund shall not receive any payment from
                            the Fund until such time as all other eligible

                            amount equal to 30 percent of the compensatory
                            damages awarded to those applicants pursuant to

                            percent of the compensatory damages owed that
                            applicant under a final judgment or claim
                            described in subsection (c)(2) from any source
                            other than this Fund, such applicant may apply
                            to the Special Master for the difference
                            between the percentage of compensatory damages
                            the applicant has received from other sources
                            and the percentage of compensatory damages to
                            be awarded other eligible applicants from the

            the Fund, the Special Master shall authorize additional
            payments on a pro rata basis to those claimants with eligible
            claims under subsection (c)(2) and shall authorize additional
            payments for eligible claims annually thereafter if funds are
            available in the Fund.
                (5) Subrogation and retention of rights.--

                    the extent of payment.--The United States shall be
                    subrogated to the rights of any person who applies for
                    and receives payments under this section, but only to
                    the extent and in the amount of such payments made
                    under this section. The President shall pursue these
                    subrogated rights as claims or offsets of the United
                    States in appropriate ways, including any negotiation
                    process that precedes the normalization of relations
                    between the foreign state designated as a state sponsor
                    of terrorism and the United States or the lifting of
                    sanctions against such foreign state.
                        (B) Rights retained.--To the extent amounts of

                    payments made under this subsection, each applicant
                    shall retain that applicant's creditor rights in any
                    unpaid and outstanding amounts of the judgment,
                    including any prejudgment or post-judgment interest, or
                    punitive damages, awarded by the United States district
                    court pursuant to a judgment.

                    needed to implement such an in-person initial review of
                    ITIN applications, in conjunction with an expansion of

                    percentage of compensation provided under the plan
                    until the participant specifically elects not to have

                    such plan year notice of the participant's rights and
                    obligations under the arrangement which--

                            participant's behalf (or to elect to have such
                            contributions made at a different percentage),
                                (ii) the participant has a reasonable
                            period of time, after receipt of the

                                (iii) the notice explains how contributions
                            made under the arrangement will be invested in
                            the absence of any investment election by the
                            participant.

            election has been made with respect to any automatic
            contribution arrangement, contributions to such arrangement

            selecting an investment option would use.
