    procedures, forms, legal documents and such other elements as the 
    Secretary determines to be appropriate;
        (3) assure, insofar as is feasible, the availability of an 
    appropriate variety of model programs designed for local market 
    conditions, housing problems, project characteristics, and 
    managerial capacities as they differ among participating 
    jurisdictions;
        (4) negotiate and enter into agreements with agencies of the 
    Federal Government, participating jurisdictions, private financial 
    institutions, government-sponsored mortgage finance corporations,

    services, products, or financing as may be required for the 
    implementation of a model program;
        (5) provide detailed information on model programs as requested 
    by participating jurisdictions, private financial institutions, 
    developers, nonprofit organizations, and other interested parties; 
    and

    efficiency, economies of scale, and effectiveness in the investment 
    of funds made available under this part through third-party 
    training, printed materials, and such other means of support as the 
    Secretary determines will achieve the purpose of this subchapter.

participating jurisdiction may deem appropriate, and the Secretary may 
assist a participating jurisdiction in adopting, adapting, or designing 
one or more model programs.
