42 USC 11404 - Authority

The Secretary may use amounts made available under section 11403h of this title to provide tenant-based rental housing assistance for eligible persons in accordance with this subpart.

42 USC 11404a - Housing assistance

An eligible person on behalf of whom assistance is provided under this subpart shall select the unit in which such person will live using rental assistance under this subpart; except that where necessary to assure that the provision of supportive services to persons is feasible, a recipient may require that a person participating in the program live

(1) in a particular structure or unit for up to the first year of participation, and

(2) within a particular geographic area for the full period of participation or the period remaining after the period referred to in paragraph^[1] (1).

[1] So in original. Probably should be “clause”.

42 USC 11404b - Amount of assistance

The contract with a recipient for assistance under this subpart shall be for a term of 5 years. Each contract shall provide that the recipient shall receive aggregate amounts not to exceed the appropriate existing housing fair market rent limitation under section 1437f (c) of this title in effect at the time the application is approved. At the option of the recipient and subject to the availability of such amounts, the recipient may receive in any year

(1) up to 25 percent of such amounts or

(2) such higher percentage as the Secretary may approve upon a demonstration satisfactory to the Secretary that the recipient has entered into firm financial commitments to ensure that the housing assistance described in the application will be provided for the full term of the contract. Any amounts not needed for a year may be used to increase the amount available in subsequent years.
