IMPROVED ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN IN GOVERNMENT HOUSING PROGRAMS SEC. 4. The Congress finds that Federal aids to housing have not contributed fully to improvement in architectural standards. This objective has been contemplated in Federal housing legislation since the establishment of mortgage insurance through the Federal Housing Administration. The Congress commends the Department of Housing and Urban Development for its recent efforts to improve architectural standards through competitive design awards and in other ways but at the same time recognizes that this important objective requires high priority if Federal aid is to make its full communitywide contribution toward improving our urban environment. The Congress further finds that even within the necessary budget limitations on housing for low and moderate income families architectural design could be improved not only to make the housing more attractive, but to make it better suited to the needs of occupants. The Congress declares that in the administration of housing programs which assist in the provision of housing for low and moderate. income families, emphasis should be given to encouraging good design as an essential component of such housing and to developing housing which will be of such quality as to reflect its important relationship to the architectural standards of the neighborhood and community in which it is situated, consistent with prudent budgeting. 2 Sec. 118 of Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, Public Law 93-383, 88 Stat. 633, approved August 22, 1974, amended this section.

Prior to any disposition of Federal surplus real property to an entity other than a public body, the Secretary shall notify the governing body of the locality where such property is located of the proposed disposition and no such disposition shall be made if the local governing body, within ninety days of such notification, formally advises the Secretary that it objects to the proposed disposition, unless the Secretary determines (1) that the proposed disposition would be consistent with any approved housing assistance and community development plans developed by such body pursuant to the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, or (2) in cases where such plans are not available, that there is a need for low- and moderate-income housing taking into consideration any applicable State housing plans, and that there is or will be available in the area public facilities and services adequate to serve any housing proposed in conjunction with the proposed disposition. If the United States paid valuable consideration for any such land the Secretary shall not sell it for less than its cost to the United States at the time of acquisition. In addition, if such land contains improvements constructed by the Federal Government which have potential use in the provision of housing for low- or moderateincome families or individuals, the improvements shall be separately appraised for such use and the price for which such land is sold shall include an amount which is not less than the value of such improvements as so appraised. (b) As a condition of any disposition by the Secretary of Federal surplus real property under this section to an entity other than a public body, the Secretary shall obtain such undertakings as the Secretary may consider appropriate to assure that the property will be used, to the maximum practicable extent, in the provision of housing and related facilities to be occupied by families or individuals of low and moderate income for a period of not less than thirty years. If during such period the property is used for any purpose other than the purpose for which it was disposed of, it shall revert to the United States (or, in the case of leased property, the lease shall terminate) unless the Secretary and the Administrator, after the expiration of the first twenty years of such period, have approved the use of the property for such other purposes.
