(a) Authorization of waiver

    For any housing program that provides assistance through any Indian 
housing authority, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may 
provide assistance under such program in any fiscal year notwithstanding 
any other provision of law that requires the Indian housing authority to 
provide amounts to match or supplement the amounts provided under such 
program, if the Indian housing authority has not received amounts for 
such fiscal year under title I of the Housing and Community Development 
Act of 1974 [42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.].

(b) Extent of waiver

    The authority under subsection (a) of this section to provide 
assistance notwithstanding requirements regarding matching or 
supplemental amounts shall be effective only to the extent provided by 
the Secretary, which shall not extend beyond the fiscal year in which 
the waiver is made or beyond the receipt of any amounts by an Indian 
housing authority under title I of the Housing and Community Development 
Act of 1974 [42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.].

(c) ``Housing program'' defined

    For purposes of this section, the term ``housing program'' means a 
program under the administration of the Secretary of Housing and Urban 
Development or the Secretary of Agriculture (through the Administrator 
of the Farmers Home Administration) that provides assistance in the form 
of contracts, grants, loans, cooperative agreements, or any other form 
of assistance (including the insurance or guarantee of a loan, mortgage, 
or pool of mortgages) for housing.
