                 TITLE 42--THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
 
        CHAPTER 9--HOUSING OF PERSONS ENGAGED IN NATIONAL DEFENSE
 
  SUBCHAPTER IX--DEFENSE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES
 
Sec. 1592c. Loans or grants for community facilities or 
        services; conditions; maximum amounts; annual adjustments
        
    In furtherance of the purposes of this subchapter and subject to the 
provisions hereof, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may 
make loans or grants, or other payments, to public and nonprofit 
agencies for the provision, or for the operation and maintenance, of 
community facilities and equipment therefor, or for the provision of 
community services, upon such terms and in such amounts as the Secretary 
of Housing and Urban Development may consider to be in the public 
interest: Provided, That grants under this subchapter to any local 
agency for hospital construction may be made only after such action by 
the local agency to secure assistance under Public Law 725, Seventy-
ninth Congress, approved August 13, 1946, as amended, or Public Law 380, 
Eighty-first Congress, approved October 25, 1949, as is determined to be 
reasonable under the circumstances, and only to the extent that the 
required assistance is not available to such local agency under said 
Public Law 725, or said Public Law 380, as the case may be: Provided 
further, That grants or payments for the provision, or for the 
maintenance and operation, of community facilities or services under 
this section shall not exceed the portion of the cost of the provision, 
or the maintenance and operation, of such facilities or services which 
the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development estimates to be 
attributable to the national defense activities in the area and not to 
be recovered by the public or nonprofit agency from other sources, 
including payments by the United States under any other provisions of 
this Act or any other law: And provided further, That any such 
continuing grant or payment shall be reexamined and adjusted annually 
upon the basis of the ability of the agency to bear a greater portion of 
the cost of such maintenance, operation, or services as a result of 
increased revenues made possible by such facility or by such defense 
activities.
