                 TITLE 42--THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
 
        CHAPTER 9--HOUSING OF PERSONS ENGAGED IN NATIONAL DEFENSE
 
                    SUBCHAPTER I--PROJECTS GENERALLY
 
Sec. 1504. Rental rates; exemption from limitations of United 
        States Housing Act of 1937
        
    Any contract made for financial assistance under the United States 
Housing Act of 1937, as amended [42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.], may be revised 
so as to provide that the project involved will be assisted for any of 
the purposes of this subchapter. The Department of the Navy or Army or 
the Air Force or the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, in the 
administration of any project developed for the purposes of this 
subchapter, shall fix rentals for persons engaged in national defense 
activities and their families which will be within their financial 
reach, and the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, in any 
contract for financial assistance or any lease of such a project, shall 
require the fixing of such rentals. Projects developed by the Department 
of the Navy or Army or Air Force, or developed or assisted by the 
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, for the purposes of this 
subchapter shall not be subject to the elimination requirements of 
sections 10(a) and 11(a) of said Act [42 U.S.C. 1410(a), 1411(a)], or to 
any provisions of section 9 of said Act [42 U.S.C. 1409] which would 
require any part of the development cost thereof to be met in any manner 
other than from funds loaned or furnished by the Secretary of Housing 
and Urban Development. Funds expended for the purposes of this 
subchapter shall be excluded in determining, for the purposes of section 
21(d) \1\ of said Act [42 U.S.C. 1421(d)], the amounts expended within 
each State. Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter or as may be 
inconsistent with this subchapter, all the provisions of title I \2\ of 
the United States Housing Act of 1937 [42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.] shall 
apply to this subchapter. During the period when the President 
determines that in any locality there is an acute need for housing to 
assure the availability of dwellings for persons engaged in national 
defense activities, dwellings in a project developed or assisted in said 
locality which are devoted to the purposes of providing housing for 
persons engaged in national defense activities shall not be subject to 
sections 2(1) and 2(2) of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as 
amended [42 U.S.C. 1402(1), (2)], and during such period such projects 
shall be deemed projects of a low-rent character for the purposes of any 
of the applicable provisions in title I \2\ of the United States Housing 
Act of 1937.

    \2\ So in original. Reference should probably be to entire ``United 
States Housing Act of 1937'' because such Act is not divided into 
titles. See section 1437 et seq. of this title.
