Sec. 1437bbb-3. Applicability of requirements under programs for 
        covered housing assistance
        

(a) In general

    In each fiscal year of the demonstration program under this 
subchapter, amounts made available to a participating jurisdiction under 
the demonstration program shall be subject to the same terms and 
conditions as such amounts would be subject to if made available under 
the provisions of this chapter pursuant to which covered housing 
assistance is otherwise made available under this chapter to the public 
housing agency for the jurisdiction, except that--
        (1) the Secretary may waive any such term or condition 
    identified by the jurisdiction to the extent that the Secretary 
    determines such action to be appropriate to carry out the purposes 
    of the demonstration program under this subchapter; and
        (2) the participating jurisdiction may combine the amounts made 
    available and use the amounts for any activity eligible under the 
    programs under sections 1437f and 1437g of this title.

(b) Number of families assisted

    In carrying out the demonstration program under this subchapter, 
each participating jurisdiction shall assist substantially the same 
total number of eligible low-income families as would have otherwise 
been served by the public housing agency for the jurisdiction had the 
jurisdiction not participated in the demonstration program under this 
subchapter.

(c) Protection of recipients

    This subchapter may not be construed to authorize the termination of 
assistance to any recipient receiving assistance under this chapter 
before October 21, 1998, as a result of the implementation of the 
demonstration program under this subchapter.

(d) Effect on ability to compete for other programs

    This subchapter may not be construed to affect the ability of any 
applying or participating jurisdiction (or a public housing agency for 
any such jurisdiction) to compete or otherwise apply for or receive 
assistance under any other housing assistance program administered by 
the Secretary.
