Sec. 1319. Federal participation in payments for repairs to home 
        owned by recipient of aid or assistance
        
    In the case of an expenditure for repairing the home owned by an 
individual who is receiving aid or assistance, other than medical 
assistance to the aged, under a State plan approved under subchapter I, 
X, XIV, or XVI of this chapter, if--
        (1) the State agency or local agency administering the plan 
    approved under such subchapter has made a finding (prior to making 
    such expenditure) that (A) such home is so defective that continued 
    occupancy is unwarranted, (B) unless repairs are made to such home, 
    rental quarters will be necessary for such individual, and (C) the 
    cost of rental quarters to take care of the needs of such individual 
    (including his spouse living with him in such home and any other 
    individual whose needs were taken into account in determining the 
    need of such individual) would exceed (over such time as the 
    Secretary may specify) the cost of repairs needed to make such home 
    habitable together with other costs attributable to continued 
    occupancy of such home, and
        (2) no such expenditures were made for repairing such home 
    pursuant to any prior finding under this section,

the amount paid to any such State for any quarter under section 303(a), 
1203(a), 1353(a), or 1383(a) of this title shall be increased by 50 per 
centum of such expenditures, except that the excess above $500 expended 
with respect to any one home shall not be included in determining such 
expenditures.
