    For fiscal year 1993 and subsequent fiscal years, the Secretary may

involved has established, and is providing for the ongoing operation of, 
a revolving fund as follows:
        (1) The purpose of the fund is to make loans for the costs of 
    establishing programs for the provision of housing in which 
    individuals recovering from alcohol or drug abuse may reside in 
    groups of not less than 6 individuals. The fund is established 
    directly by the State or through the provision of a grant or 
    contract to a nonprofit private entity.
        (2) The programs are carried out in accordance with guidelines 
    issued under subsection (b) of this section.
        (3) Not less than $100,000 is available for the fund.
        (4) Loans made from the revolving fund do not exceed $4,000 and 
    each such loan is repaid to the revolving fund by the residents of 
    the housing involved not later than 2 years after the date on which 
    the loan is made.
        (5) Each such loan is repaid by such residents through monthly 
    installments, and a reasonable penalty is assessed for each failure 
    to pay such periodic installments by the date specified in the loan 
    agreement involved.
        (6) Such loans are made only to nonprofit private entities 
    agreeing that, in the operation of the program established pursuant 
    to the loan--
            (A) the use of alcohol or any illegal drug in the housing 
        provided by the program will be prohibited;
            (B) any resident of the housing who violates such 
        prohibition will be expelled from the housing;
            (C) the costs of the housing, including fees for rent and 
        utilities, will be paid by the residents of the housing; and
            (D) the residents of the housing will, through a majority 
        vote of the residents, otherwise establish policies governing 
        residence in the housing, including the manner in which 
        applications for residence in the housing are approved.
