States may use their substance abuse grant to run a revolving loan fund for recovery group homes of six or more people. Loans are capped at $4,000, repaid within two years, and only go to nonprofits that ban drugs and alcohol and let residents run the house. The rule doesn't apply to U.S. territories except Puerto Rico.

(a) State revolving funds for establishment of homes — Using its substance abuse grant money, a State may set up and run a revolving loan fund to support group homes for people recovering from substance use disorders, following these rules: (1) The fund's purpose is to loan money for starting housing programs where recovering individuals live together in groups of at least six. The State can run the fund itself or give a grant or contract to a nonprofit to run it. (2) The housing programs must follow the guidelines the Secretary issues under subsection (b). (3) The fund must have at least $100,000 in it. (4) Each loan can be no more than $4,000, and residents of that housing must pay it back within 2 years. (5) Residents repay the loan in monthly installments, and a reasonable penalty applies if they miss a payment. (6) The fund can only lend to nonprofit organizations that agree to: ban alcohol and illegal drugs in the housing; expel any resident who breaks that ban; make residents pay the costs of the housing, including rent and utilities; and let residents set the house's policies — including how applications to live there are approved — by majority vote. (b) Issuance by Secretary of guidelines — The Secretary must make sure guidelines exist for how these group home programs operate. (c) Applicability to territories — This section doesn't apply to any U.S. territory except Puerto Rico.
