This model program funds repairs on structurally weak, energy-assisted low-income housing. It targets homes at risk of becoming uninhabitable within five years. Repairs must extend the home's life, kept occupied by eligible low-income people.
(a) In general: The Secretary* must offer a model program to provide safe, energy-efficient affordable housing for low-income people.
(b) Activities: The model program must provide for: (1) identifying housing that is (A) owned and lived in by low-income families who have gotten, are getting, or are scheduled to get help under the federal or comparable state* weatherization assistance program, (B) at risk of becoming uninhabitable within five years because of structural weakness, and (C) not sound enough to take energy conservation improvements without other repairs first; (2) repairs — like roofing, electrical, plumbing, furnace, and foundation work — that will significantly extend how long those homes stay safe, energy-efficient homes for low-income people; and (3) reasonable steps making sure repaired units stay occupied by people or families eligible for assistance under this subchapter.
The Secretary* shall make available a model program to provide safe, energy-efficient affordable housing for low-income persons.
The model program shall provide for—
identification of housing that is—
owned and occupied by low-income families who have received, are currently receiving, or are scheduled to receive assistance under the weatherization assistance for low-income persons program under part A of title IV of the Energy Conservation and Production Act [42 U.S.C. 6861 et seq.] (or a comparable Federal or State* program);
in danger of becoming uninhabitable within a 5-year period because of structural weaknesses or problems; and
not sufficiently sound to permit energy conservation improvements without other repair or rehabilitation measures to protect such energy investments;
repairs that will significantly prolong the habitability of units identified under paragraph (1), including roofing, electrical, plumbing, furnace, and foundation repairs or replacement that will prolong the use of the unit as a safe and energy-efficient residence for low-income persons; and
reasonable steps to ensure that any units so repaired will remain occupied by persons or families eligible for assistance under this subchapter.
