                           (1) In general

        Grants under this section may be used only for assistance to 
    provide rental assistance for low-income eligible persons. Such 
    assistance may be project based or tenant based and shall be 
    provided to the extent practicable in the manner provided for under 
    section 1437f of this title. Grantees shall ensure that the housing 
    provided is decent, safe, and sanitary.

                   (2) Shared housing arrangements

        Grants under this section may be used to assist individuals who 
    elect to reside in shared housing arrangements in the manner 
    provided under section 1437f(p) of this title, except that, 
    notwithstanding such section, assistance under this section may be 
    made available to nonelderly individuals. The Secretary shall issue 
    any standards for shared housing under this paragraph that vary from 
    standards issued under section 1437f(p) of this title only to the 
    extent necessary to provide for circumstances of shared housing 
    arrangements under this paragraph that differ from circumstances of 
    shared housing arrangements for elderly families under section 
    1437f(p) of this title.

(b) Limitations

    A recipient under this section shall comply with the following 
requirements:

                            (1) Services

        The recipient shall provide for qualified service providers in 
    the area to provide appropriate services to the eligible persons 
    assisted under this section.

                      (2) Intensive assistance

        For any individual with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or 
    related diseases who requires more care than can be provided in 
    housing assisted under this section, the recipient shall provide for 
    the locating of a care provider who can appropriately care for the 
    individual and referral of the individual to the care provider.

(c) Administrative costs

    A project sponsor providing rental assistance under this section may 
use amounts from any grant received under this section for 
administrative expenses involved in providing such assistance, subject 
to the provisions of 12905(g)(2) \1\ of this title.
