subsection (d)(2), the owner or mortgagor of the receiving
project or projects shall execute and record either a

year 2026, in managing and disposing of any multifamily property that
is owned or has a mortgage held by the Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development, and during the process of foreclosure on any property with
a contract for rental assistance payments under section 8 of the United
States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f) or any other Federal
programs, the Secretary shall maintain any rental assistance payments
under section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 and other

the extent the Secretary determines, in consultation with the tenants
and the local government that such a multifamily property owned or
having a mortgage held by the Secretary 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 (in this section
``MAHRAA'') (42 U.S.C. 1437f note), 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 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 in this section, the
contract and allowable rent levels on such properties shall be subject
to the requirements under section 524 of MAHRAA.

determined, for any prior formula grant allocation administered by the
Secretary through the Offices of Public and Indian Housing, Community
Planning and Development, or Housing, that a recipient received an
allocation greater than the amount such recipient should have received
for a formula allocation cycle pursuant to applicable statutes and
regulations, the Secretary may adjust for any such funding error in the
next applicable formula allocation cycle by (a) offsetting each such
recipient's formula allocation (if eligible for a formula allocation in
the next applicable formula allocation cycle) by the amount of any such
funding error, and (b) reallocating any available balances that are
attributable to the offset to the recipient or recipients that would
have been allocated additional funds in the formula allocation cycle in
which any such error occurred (if such recipient or recipients are
eligible for a formula allocation in the next applicable formula
allocation cycle) in an amount proportionate to such recipient's
eligibility under the next applicable formula allocation cycle:
Provided, That all offsets and reallocations from such available
balances shall be recorded against funds available for the next
applicable formula allocation cycle:  Provided further, That the term
``next applicable formula allocation cycle'' means the first formula
allocation cycle for a program that is reasonably available for
correction following such a Secretarial determination:  Provided
further, That if, upon request by a recipient and giving consideration
to all Federal resources available to the recipient for the same grant
purposes, the Secretary determines that the offset in the next
applicable formula allocation cycle would critically impair the
recipient's ability to accomplish the purpose of the formula grant, the
Secretary may adjust for the funding error across two or more formula
allocation cycles.
