(a) Purposes
Subject to the provisions of this chapter and in accordance with
regulations prescribed by him, the Secretary may make matching grants to
States to assist in--
(1) organizing, initiating, developing, or expanding programs to
provide special training in skills needed for economic and efficient
community development to those technical, professional, and other
persons with the capacity to master and employ such skills who are,
or are training to be, employed by a governmental or public body
which has responsibilities for community development, or by a
private nonprofit organization which is conducting or has
responsibility for housing and community development programs; and
(2) supporting State and local research that is needed in
connection with housing programs and needs, public improvement
programing, code problems, efficient land use, urban transportation,
and similar community development problems, and collecting,
collating, and publishing statistics and information relating to
such research.
(b) Training in housing management
Grants may be made under subsection (a) of this section to support
(1) the training of persons, especially persons of low income, in
acquiring the skills needed in the management of housing for low- and
moderate-income persons, and (2) research and the dissemination of
information with respect to the problems involved in the management of
housing for low- and moderate-income persons.
(c) State plan; required provisions
No grants may be made to a State under this section unless the
Secretary has approved a plan for the State which--
(1) sets forth the proposed use of the funds and the objectives
to be accomplished;
(2) explains the method by which the required amounts from non-
Federal sources will be obtained;
(3) provides such fiscal control and fund accounting procedures
as may be reasonably necessary to assure proper disbursement of, and
accounting for, Federal funds paid to the State under this section;
(4) designates an officer or agency of the State government who
has responsibility and authority for the administration of a
statewide research and training program as the officer or agency
with responsibility and authority for the execution of the State's
program under this section; and
(5) provides that such officer or agency will make such reports
to the Secretary, in such form, and containing such information, as
may be reasonably necessary to enable the Secretary to perform his
duties under this section.
