up to ensure the continued effectiveness of the repairs provided.

    provided;
        (2) are older or disabled; and
        (3) are members of low-income families.

(c) Permitted restrictions

    Guidelines for the model program shall require that--
        (1) assisted dwelling units be the primary residence of the 
    homeowner for whom services are provided;
        (2) preferences be provided for (A) very low-income families, 
    and (B) individuals with intense need characterized by noneconomic 
    factors such as physical and mental disabilities, language barriers, 
    and cultural, social, or geographical isolation caused by racial or 
    ethnic status that restricts the ability of an individual to perform 
    normal daily tasks or that threatens the capacity of the individual 
    to live independently;
