        result of financial hardship due to circumstances beyond the
        control of the mortgagor.
    (b) Effect of Finding of Ineligibility.--If, after reviewing an
application for assistance submitted in accordance with section 4, the
Secretary determines that the mortgagor has not met the conditions of

prohibited from reapplying for assistance under this Act until the
expiration of the 6-month period beginning on the date of such
determination unless there is a material change in the financial
circumstances of the mortgagor.

SEC. 5. ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS BY SECRETARY.

    (a) Amount To Bring Mortgage Current.--If the Secretary determines

Secretary approves such mortgagor for assistance, the Secretary shall
pay to the mortgagee from any amounts made available to carry out this
Act the full amount due to the mortgagee pursuant to the terms of the
mortgage without regard to any acceleration under the mortgage, or the
full amount of any alternative mortgage payments agreed to by the
mortgagee and mortgagor on the date that the application is approved by
the Secretary. This amount shall include the amount of principal,
interest, taxes, assessments, ground rents, hazard insurance, any
mortgage insurance or credit insurance premiums, and reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred by such mortgagee in relation to the
arrearage.
    (b) Monthly Assistance Payments.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary shall make monthly mortgage
        assistance payments to the mortgagee on behalf of the mortgagor
        pursuant to this Act.
            (2) Obligation of the mortgagor.--A mortgagor on whose
        behalf the Secretary is making the mortgage assistance payments
        shall pay monthly payments to the Secretary. Such payments
        shall be in an amount which will cause the mortgagor's total
        housing expense not to exceed 35 percent of the mortgagor's net
        effective income. This shall be the maximum amount the
        mortgagor can be required to pay during the 36 months a
        mortgagor is eligible for mortgage assistance.
            (3) Obligation of the secretary.--Upon receipt of this
        payment from the mortgagor, the Secretary or the Secretary's
        duly authorized agent shall send the total mortgage payment
        directly to the mortgagee.
    (c) Review Upon Delinquency.--If the mortgagor fails to pay to the
Secretary any amounts due directly from the mortgagor under this
section not later than 15 days after such due date, the Secretary or
its designated agent shall review the mortgagor's financial
circumstances to determine whether a delinquency in payments due from
the mortgagor under this section or section 6 is the result of a change
in the mortgagor's financial circumstances since the payment amount was
last determined. If the delinquency is not the result of a change in
the mortgagor's financial circumstances, the Secretary shall terminate
future mortgage assistance payments and the mortgagee may, at any time
thereafter, take any legal action to enforce its mortgage without any
further restriction or requirement. If the delinquency is the result of
such a change, the Secretary shall modify the mortgagor's required
payments to the Secretary as the Secretary shall determine.
    (d) Period for Assistance.--Payments under this Act shall be
provided for a period not to exceed 36 months, either consecutively or
nonconsecutively. The Secretary shall establish procedures for periodic
review of the mortgagor's financial circumstances for the purpose of
determining the necessity for continuation, termination, or adjustment
of the amount of the payments.

SEC. 6. REPAYMENT OF ASSISTANCE.

    (a) Assistance Loan.--The amount by which the assistance payments
made by the Secretary to the mortgagee exceeds the amount of payments
made by the mortgagor to the Secretary shall be a loan by the Secretary
to the mortgagor. The loan shall be evidenced by such documents as the
Secretary shall determine necessary to protect the interests of the
United States.
    (b) Repayment of Assistance Loan.--Before making assistance
payments under this Act on behalf of a mortgagor, the Secretary shall
enter into an agreement with the mortgagor for repayment of all
mortgage assistance made by the Secretary under section 5, plus
interest as provided in subsection (c). The agreement shall provide for
monthly payments by the mortgagor to the Secretary which (1) shall
begin once the Secretary has determined that continuation of mortgage
assistance payments to the mortgagee is unnecessary, and (2) shall be
in an amount determined as follows:
            (1) Housing expense less than 35 percent.--If the
        mortgagor's total housing expense is less than 35 percent of
        the mortgagor's net effective income, the mortgagor shall pay
        to the Secretary the difference between 35 percent of the
        mortgagor's net effective income and the mortgagor's total
        housing expense unless otherwise determined by the Secretary
        after examining the mortgagor's financial circumstances and
        ability to contribute to repayment of the mortgage assistance.
            (2) Housing expense greater than 35 percent.--If the
        mortgagor's total housing expense is more than 35 percent of
        the mortgagor's net effective income, repayment of the mortgage
        assistance shall be deferred until the mortgagor's total
        housing expense is less than 35 percent of the mortgagor's net
        effective income.
            (3) When mortgage paid in full.--Notwithstanding paragraphs
        (1) and (2), if repayment of mortgage assistance is not made by
        the date that the mortgage is paid in full, the mortgagor shall
        make mortgage assistance repayments in an amount not less than
        the previous regular mortgage payment until the mortgage
        assistance is repaid.
    (c) Interest.--Interest shall accrue on all mortgage assistance
made under this Act at the rate determined monthly by the Secretary of
the Treasury to be equal to the then current average yield on
outstanding 30-year bonds issued by the Secretary of the Treasury under
section 3102 of title 31, United States Code, and shall accrue only
during the period in which the mortgagor is required to make repayment
under this section.
    (d) Lien To Secure Repayment of Assistance.--Repayment of amounts
owed to the Secretary from a mortgagor shall be secured by a mortgage
lien on the property and by such other obligation as the Secretary may
require. The lien or other security interest of the Secretary shall not
be deemed to take priority over any other secured lien or secured
interest in effect against the mortgagor's property on the date
assistance payments begin. The Secretary may allow subordination of the
mortgage assistance lien only if such subordination is necessary to
permit the mortgagor to obtain a home improvement loan for repairs
necessary to preserve the property.
    (e) Time for Repayment.--Payments under this section shall be made
by the mortgagor to the Secretary not later than 14 days after each
mortgage payment is due under the mortgage (or in the case of repayment
after the mortgage has been paid in full, not later than the date the
mortgage payments were due under the mortgage).

        Pacific Ocean to the west and the Park on the north, south, and
        east;
