allocated by State.

    Guaranteed loan funds will be made available under a Notice of 
Funding Availability (NOFA) being published in this Federal Register.

C. Multifamily Revitalization Initiative Demonstration Program

    The Multifamily Revitalization Initiative Demonstration Program is 
designed to preserve and revitalize Section 515 multifamily rental 
housing properties. The Program is designed to utilize several tools to 
restructure debt and financing of an aging portfolio of rental 
properties. The objective is to ensure that properties have sufficient 
resources to continue providing safe and affordable housing for low-
income rural residents.

D. Rural Housing Voucher Program

    The Rural Housing Voucher Program, authorized under Section 542 of 
the Housing Act of 1949, is designed to provide tenant protections in 
properties that prepay their mortgages after September 30, 2005. These 
Vouchers are portable and will enable tenants to continue to access 
affordable housing without benefit of the traditional Rental Assistance 
Program.

III. Farm Labor Housing (LH) Loans and Grants

    The Administrator has the authority to transfer the allocation of 
budget authority between the two programs. Upon NOFA closing the 
Administrator will evaluate the responses and determine proper 
distribution of funds between loans and grants.

    The following legislatively mandated set-asides of funds are part 
of the National office set-aside:

places as defined in 7 CFR 3560.

develop units in the underserved 100 most needy counties or colonias as

RHS RA program.

D. Repair and Rehabilitation Loans

    Tenant health and safety continues to be the top priority. Repair 
and rehabilitation funds must be first targeted to RRH facilities that 
have physical conditions that affect the health and safety of tenants 
and subsequently made available to facilities that have deferred

conducted in November 2005.

E. Designated Reserve for Equity Loans

    An amount of $4,950,000 has been designated for the equity loan

further divided into $4 million for equity loan requests currently on 
the pending funding list and $950,000 to facilitate the transfer of 
properties from for-profit owners to nonprofit corporations and public 
bodies. Funds for such transfers would be authorized only for for-
profit owners who are currently on the pending funding list who agree 
to transfer to nonprofit corporations or public bodies rather than to 
remain on the pending list. If insufficient transfer requests are 
generated to utilize the full $1 million set aside for nonprofit and 
public body transfers, the balance will revert to the existing pending 
equity loan funding list.

F. General Reserve

    There is one general reserve fund of $19,800,000. Some examples of 
immediate allowable uses include, but are not limited to, hardships and
