Sec. 1831q. FDIC affordable housing program


(a) Purpose

    The purpose of this section is to provide homeownership and rental 
housing opportunities for very low-income, low-income, and moderate-
income families.

(b) Funding and limitations of program

                       (1) Duration of program

        The provisions of this section shall be effective, subject to 
    the provisions of paragraph (2), only during the 3-year period 
    beginning upon the commencement of the first fiscal year for which 
    amounts are provided pursuant to paragraph (2)(A).

                    (2) Annual fiscal limitations

        (A) In general

            In each fiscal year during the 3-year period referred to in 
        paragraph (1), the provisions of this section shall apply only--
                (i) to such extent or in such amounts as are provided in 
            appropriations Acts for any losses resulting during the 
            fiscal year from the sale of properties under this section, 
            except that such amounts for losses may not exceed 
            $30,000,000 in any fiscal year; and
                (ii) to the extent that amounts are provided in 
            appropriations Acts pursuant to subparagraph (C) for any 
            other costs relating to the program under this section.

        (B) Definition of losses

            For purposes of this paragraph, the amount of losses 
        resulting from the sale of properties under this section during 
        any fiscal year shall be the amount equal to the sum of any 
        affordable housing discounts reasonably anticipated to accrue 
        during the fiscal year.

        (C) Authorization of appropriations

            There are authorized to be appropriated, for each fiscal 
        year during the 3-year period referred to in paragraph (1), such 
        sums as may be necessary for any costs of the program under this 
        section other than losses resulting from the sale of properties 
        under this section.

        (D) Other definitions

            For purposes of this paragraph:
            (i) Affordable housing discount

                The term ``affordable housing discount'' means, with 
            respect to any eligible residential or eligible condominium 
            property transferred under this section by the Corporation, 
            the difference (if any) between the realizable disposition 
            value of the property and the actual sale price of the 
            property under this section.
            (ii) Realizable disposition value

                The term ``realizable disposition value'' means the 
            estimated sale price that the Corporation reasonably would 
            be able to obtain upon the sale of a property by the 
            Corporation under the provisions of this chapter, not 
            including this section, and any other applicable laws. Not 
            later than the expiration of the 120-day period beginning 
            upon the commencement of the first fiscal year for which 
            amounts are provided pursuant to paragraph (2)(A), the 
            Corporation shall establish, and publish in the Federal 
            Register, procedures for determining the realizable 
            disposition value of a property transferred under this 
            section, which shall take into consideration such factors as 
            the Corporation considers appropriate, including the actual 
            sale prices of properties disposed of by the Resolution 
            Trust Corporation under section 1441a(c) of this title, the 
            prices of other properties sold under similar programs, and 
            the appraised value of the property transferred under this 
            section. Until such procedures are established, the 
            Corporation may consider the realizable disposition value of 
            any eligible residential or condominium property to be equal 
            to the appraised value of the property.

                       (3) Existing contracts

        The provisions of this section shall not apply to any eligible 
    residential property or any eligible condominium property that is 
    subject to an agreement entered into by the Corporation before the 
    commencement of the first fiscal year for which amounts are provided 
    pursuant to paragraph (2)(A) that provides for any other disposition 
    of the property.

(c) Rules governing disposition of eligible single family properties

                    (1) Notice to clearinghouses

        Within a reasonable period of time after acquiring title to an 
    eligible single family property, the Corporation shall provide 
    written notice to clearinghouses. Such notice shall contain basic 
    information about the property, including but not limited to 
    location, condition, and information relating to the estimated fair 
    market value of the property. Each clearinghouse shall make such 
    information available, upon request, to other public agencies, other 
    nonprofit organizations, and qualifying households. The Corporation 
    shall allow public agencies, nonprofit organizations, and qualifying 
    households reasonable access to eligible single family property for 
    purposes of inspection.

       (2) Offers to sell to nonprofit organizations, public 
                     agencies, and qualifying households

        During the 180-day period beginning on the date on which the 
    Corporation makes an eligible single family property available for 
    sale, the Corporation shall offer to sell the property to--
            (A) qualifying households (including qualifying households 
        with members who are veterans); or
            (B) public agencies or nonprofit organizations that agree to 
        (i) make the property available for occupancy by and maintain it 
        as affordable for low-income families (including low-income 
        families with members who are veterans) for the remaining useful 
        life of such property, or (ii) make the property available for 
        purchase by any such family who, except as provided in paragraph 
        (4), agrees to occupy the property as a principal residence for 
        at least 12 months and certifies in writing that the family 
        intends to occupy the property for at least 12 months.

    The restrictions described in clause (i) of subparagraph (B) shall 
    be contained in the deed or other recorded instrument. If, upon the 
    expiration of such 180-day period, no qualifying household, public 
    agency, or nonprofit organization has made a bona fide offer to 
    purchase the property, the Corporation may offer to sell the 
    property to any purchaser. The Corporation shall actively market 
    eligible single family properties for sale to low-income families 
    and to low-income families with members who are veterans.

                (3) Recapture of profits from resale

        Except as provided in paragraph (4), if any eligible single 
    family property sold (A) to a qualifying household, or (B) to a low-
    income family pursuant to paragraph (2)(B)(ii), subsection (j)(3)(A) 
    of this section, or subsection (k)(2) of this section, is resold by 
    the qualifying household or low-income family during the 1-year 
    period beginning upon initial acquisition by the household or low-
    income family, the Corporation shall recapture 75 percent of the 
    amount of any proceeds from the resale that exceed the sum of (i) 
    the original sale price for the acquisition of the property by the 
    qualifying household or low-income family, (ii) the costs of any 
    improvements to the property made after the date of the acquisition, 
    and (iii) any closing costs in connection with the acquisition.

               (4) Exceptions to recapture requirement

        (A) Relocation

            The Corporation may in its discretion waive the 
        applicability (i) to any qualifying household of the requirement 
        under paragraph (3) and the requirements relating to residency 
        of a qualifying household under subparagraphs (B) and (C) of 
        subsection (p)(12) of this section, and (ii) to any low-income 
        family of the requirement under paragraph (3) and the residency 
        requirements under paragraph (2)(B)(ii). The Corporation may 
        grant any such waiver only for good cause shown, including any 
        necessary relocation of the qualifying household or low-income 
        family.

        (B) Other recapture provisions

            The requirement under paragraph (3) shall not apply to any 
        eligible single family property for which, upon resale by the 
        qualifying household or low-income family during the 1-year 
        period beginning upon initial acquisition by the household or 
        family, a portion of the sale proceeds or any subsidy provided 
        in connection with the acquisition of the property by the 
        household or family is required to be recaptured or repaid under 
        any other Federal, State, or local law (including section 143(m) 
        of title 26) or regulation or under any sale agreement.

      (5) Exception to avoid displacement of existing residents

        Notwithstanding the first sentence of paragraph (2), during the 
    180-day period following the date on which the Corporation makes an 
    eligible single family property available for sale, the Corporation 
    may sell the property to the household residing in the property, but 
    only if (A) such household was residing in the property at the time 
    notice regarding the property was provided to clearinghouses under 
    paragraph (1), (B) such sale is necessary to avoid the displacement 
    of, and unnecessary hardship to, the resident household, (C) the 
    resident household intends to occupy the property as a principal 
    residence for at least 12 months, and (D) the resident household 
    certifies in writing that the household intends to occupy the 
    property for at least 12 months.

(d) Rules governing disposition of eligible multifamily housing 
        properties

                    (1) Notice to clearinghouses

        Within a reasonable period of time after acquiring title to an 
    eligible multifamily housing property, the Corporation shall provide 
    written notice to clearinghouses. Such notice shall contain basic 
    information about the property, including but not limited to 
    location, number of units (identified by number of bedrooms), and 
    information relating to the estimated fair market value of the 
    property. Each clearinghouse shall make such information available, 
    upon request, to qualifying multifamily purchasers. The Corporation 
    shall allow qualifying multifamily purchasers reasonable access to 
    eligible multifamily housing properties for purposes of inspection.

                 (2) Expression of serious interest

        Qualifying multifamily purchasers may give written notice of 
    serious interest in a property during a period ending 90 days after 
    the time the Corporation provides notice under paragraph (1). The 
    notice of serious interest shall be in such form and include such 
    information as the Corporation may prescribe.

                  (3) Notice of readiness for sale

        Upon the expiration of the period referred to in paragraph (2) 
    for a property, the Corporation shall provide written notice to any 
    qualifying multifamily purchaser that has expressed serious interest 
    in the property. Such notice shall specify the minimum terms and 
    conditions for sale of the property.

           (4) Offers by qualifying multifamily purchasers

        A qualifying multifamily purchaser receiving notice in 
    accordance with paragraph (3) shall have 45 days (from the date 
    notice is received) to make a bona fide offer to purchase the 
    property. The Corporation shall accept an offer that complies with 
    the terms and conditions established by the Corporation. If, before 
    the expiration of such 45-day period, any offer to purchase a 
    property initially accepted by the Corporation is subsequently 
    rejected or fails (for any reason), the Corporation shall accept 
    another offer to purchase the property made during such period that 
    complies with the terms and conditions established by the 
    Corporation (if such another offer is made). The preceding sentence 
    may not be construed to require a qualifying multifamily purchaser 
    whose offer is accepted during the 45-day period to purchase the 
    property before the expiration of the period.

              (5) Extension of restricted offer periods

        The Corporation may provide notice to clearinghouses regarding, 
    and offer for sale under the provisions of paragraphs (1) through 
    (4), any eligible multifamily housing property--
            (A) in which no qualifying multifamily purchaser has 
        expressed serious interest during the period referred to in 
        paragraph (2), or
            (B) for which no qualifying multifamily purchaser has made a 
        bona fide offer before the expiration of the period referred to 
        in paragraph (4),

    except that the Corporation may, in the discretion of the 
    Corporation, alter the duration of the periods referred to in 
    paragraphs (2) and (4) in offering any property for sale under this 
    paragraph.

       (6) Sale of multifamily properties to other purchasers

        (A) Timing

            If, upon the expiration of the period referred to in 
        paragraph (2), no qualifying multifamily purchaser has expressed 
        serious interest in a property, the Corporation may offer to 
        sell the property, individually or in combination with other 
        properties, to any purchaser.

        (B) Limitation on combination sales

            The Corporation may not sell in combination with other 
        properties any property for which a qualifying multifamily 
        purchaser has expressed serious interest in purchasing 
        individually.

        (C) Expiration of offer period

            If, upon the expiration of the period referred to in 
        paragraph (4), no qualifying multifamily purchaser has made an 
        offer to purchase a property, the Corporation may offer to sell 
        the property, individually or in combination with other 
        properties, to any purchaser.

                (7) Low-income occupancy requirements

        (A) Single property purchases

            With respect to any purchase of a single eligible 
        multifamily housing property by a qualifying multifamily 
        purchaser under paragraph (4) or (5)--
                (i) not less than 35 percent of all dwelling units 
            purchased shall be made available for occupancy by and 
            maintained as affordable for low-income and very low-income 
            families during the remaining useful life of the property in 
            which the units are located; provided that
                (ii) not less than 20 percent of all dwelling units 
            purchased shall be made available for occupancy by and 
            maintained as affordable for very low-income families during 
            the remaining useful life of the property in which the units 
            are located.

        (B) Aggregation requirements for multiproperty purchases

            With respect to any purchase under paragraph (4) or (5) by a 
        qualifying multifamily purchaser involving more than one 
        eligible multifamily housing property as a part of the same 
        negotiation, with respect to which the purchaser intends to 
        aggregate the low-income occupancy required under this paragraph 
        over the total number of units so purchased--
                (i) not less than 40 percent of the aggregate number of 
            all dwelling units purchased shall be made available for 
            occupancy by and maintained as affordable for low-income and 
            very low-income families during the remaining useful life of 
            the building or structure in which the units are located; 
            provided that
                (ii) not less than 20 percent of the aggregate number of 
            all dwelling units purchased shall be made available for 
            occupancy by and maintained as affordable for very low-
            income families during the remaining useful life of the 
            building or structure in which the units are located; and 
            further provided that
                (iii) not less than 10 percent of the dwelling units in 
            each separate property purchased shall be made available for 
            occupancy by and maintained as affordable for low-income 
            families during the remaining useful life of the property in 
            which the units are located.

    The requirements of this paragraph shall be contained in the deed or 
    other recorded instrument.

                           (8) Exemptions

        (A) Continued occupancy of current residents

            No purchaser of an eligible multifamily property may 
        terminate the occupancy of any person residing in the property 
        on the date of purchase for purposes of meeting the low-income 
        occupancy requirement applicable to the property under paragraph 
        (7). The purchaser shall be considered to be in compliance with 
        this subsection if each newly vacant dwelling unit is reserved 
        for low-income occupancy until the low-income occupancy 
        requirement is met.

        (B) Financial infeasibility

            The Secretary or the State housing finance agency for the 
        State in which an eligible multifamily housing property is 
        located may temporarily reduce the low-income occupancy 
        requirements under paragraph (7) applicable to the property, if 
        the Secretary or such agency determines that an owner's 
        compliance with such requirements is no longer financially 
        feasible. The owner of the property shall make a good-faith 
        effort to return low-income occupancy to the level required 
        under paragraph (7), and the Secretary or the State housing 
        finance agency, as appropriate, shall review the reduction 
        annually to determine whether financial infeasibility continues 
        to exist.

(e) Rent limitations

                           (1) In general

        With respect to properties under paragraph (2), rents charged to 
    tenants for units made available for occupancy by very low-income 
    families shall not exceed 30 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 adjustment for family 
    size. Rents charged to tenants for units made available for 
    occupancy by low-income families other than very low-income families 
    shall not exceed 30 percent of the adjusted income of a family whose 
    income equals 65 percent of the median income for the area, as 
    determined by the Secretary, with adjustment for family size.

                          (2) Applicability

        The rent limitations under this subsection shall apply to any 
    eligible single family property sold pursuant to subsection 
    (c)(2)(B)(i) of this section and to any eligible multifamily housing 
    property sold pursuant to subsection (d) of this section.

(f) Preferences for sales

                           (1) In general

        In selling any eligible multifamily housing property or 
    combinations of eligible residential properties, the Corporation 
    shall give preference, among substantially similar offers, to the 
    offer that would reserve the highest percentage of dwelling units 
    for occupancy or purchase by very low-income and low-income families 
    and would retain such affordability for the longest term.

                     (2) Multiproperty purchases

        The Corporation shall give preference, among substantially 
    similar offers made under paragraph (4) or (5) of subsection (d) of 
    this section to purchase more than one eligible multifamily housing 
    property as a part of the same negotiation, to offers made by 
    purchasers who agree to maintain low-income occupancy in each 
    separate property purchased in compliance with the levels required 
    for properties under subsection (d)(7)(A) of this section.

           (3) Definition of substantially similar offers

        For purposes of this subsection, a given offer to purchase 
    eligible multifamily housing property or combinations of such 
    properties shall be considered to be substantially similar to 
    another offer if the purchase price under such given offer is not 
    less than 85 percent of the purchase price under the other offer.

(g) Financing sales

                    (1) Assistance by Corporation

        (A) Sale price

            The Corporation shall establish a market value for each 
        eligible multifamily housing property. The Corporation shall 
        sell eligible multifamily housing property at the net realizable 
        market value, except that the Corporation may agree to sell 
        eligible multifamily housing property at a price below the net 
        realizable market value to the extent necessary to facilitate an 
        expedited sale of such property and enable a public agency or 
        nonprofit organization to comply with the low-income occupancy 
        requirements applicable to such property under subsection (d)(7) 
        of this section. The Corporation may sell eligible single family 
        property or eligible condominium property to qualifying 
        households, nonprofit organizations, and public agencies without 
        regard to any minimum sale price.

        (B) Purchase loan

            The Corporation may provide a loan at market interest rates 
        to any purchaser of eligible residential property for all or a 
        portion of the purchase price, which loan shall be secured by a 
        first or second mortgage on the property. The Corporation may 
        provide the loan at below market interest rates to the extent 
        necessary to facilitate an expedited sale of eligible 
        residential property and permit (i) a low-income family to 
        purchase an eligible single family property under subsection (c) 
        of this section, or (ii) a public agency or nonprofit 
        organization to comply with the low-income occupancy 
        requirements applicable to the purchase of an eligible 
        residential property under subsection (c) or (d) of this 
        section. The Corporation shall provide loans under this 
        subparagraph in a form permitting sale or transfer of the loan 
        to a subsequent holder. In providing financing for combinations 
        of eligible multifamily housing properties under this section, 
        the Corporation may hold a participating share, including a 
        subordinate participation. The Corporation shall periodically 
        provide, to a wide range of minority- and women-owned businesses 
        engaged in providing affordable housing and to nonprofit 
        organizations, more than 50 percent of the control of which is 
        held by 1 or more minority individuals, that are engaged in 
        providing affordable housing, information that is sufficient to 
        inform such businesses and organizations of the availability and 
        terms of financing under this subparagraph; such information may 
        be provided directly, by notices published in periodicals and 
        other publications that regularly provide information to such 
        businesses or organizations, and through persons and 
        organizations that regularly provide information or services to 
        such businesses or organizations. For purposes of this 
        subparagraph, the terms ``women-owned business'' and ``minority-
        owned business'' have the meanings given such terms in section 
        1441a(r) of this title, and the term ``minority'' has the 
        meaning given such term in section 1204(c)(3) of the Financial 
        Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989.

                        (2) Assistance by HUD

        The Secretary shall take such action as may be necessary to 
    expedite the processing of applications for assistance under section 
    202 of the Housing Act of 1959 [12 U.S.C. 1701q], the United States 
    Housing Act of 1937 [42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.], title IV of the 
    McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act [42 U.S.C. 11361 et seq.],

        part of the same negotiation or purchase, the Corporation may 
        (in the discretion of the Corporation) waive the requirement

        (C) Sale to other purchasers

            If, upon the expiration of the 180-day period referred to in 
        paragraph (2), no purchaser described in subparagraphs (A)

    of the requirement under paragraph (4) and the requirements relating 
    to residency of a qualifying household or low-income family (under 
    subsection (p)(12) of this section and paragraph (3) of this 
    subsection, respectively). The Corporation may grant any such a 
    waiver only for good cause shown, including any necessary relocation 
    of the qualifying household or low-income family.

             (6) Limitations on multiple unit purchases

        The Corporation may not sell or offer to sell as part of the 
    same negotiation or purchase any eligible condominium properties 
    that are not located in the same condominium project (as such term 
    is defined in section 3603 of title 15). The preceding sentence may 
    not be construed to require all eligible condominium properties 
    offered or sold as part of the same negotiation or purchase to be

                      (2) Low-income occupancy

        The low-income occupancy requirements under subsections (c),

    corporation, or authority of the United States. The parties
