States may use public or private nonprofit agencies in carrying out demonstration projects in accordance with this section.

(2) permanently reduce the number of rooms used to house homeless families who are recipients of such aid in commercial or similar transient facilities by the number of units made available in transitional facilities in accordance with paragraph (1); and

(3) provide that the Federal share of the total amount of cash assistance provided under the project to families residing in transitional facilities plus the total amount of grants made to the State under this section must be less than or equal to the Federal share of the cost of housing such families in commercial or similar transient facilities (including payments made to cover basic needs and services of such families).

(d) USE OF FUNDS.-Each State that receives funds under this section shall use such funds to

(1) rehabilitate or construct transitional facilities which are easily convertible to permanent housing when such facilities are no longer needed as transitional facilities; and

(2) provide on-site social services at such facilities.

(e) GAO REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS.-Within 90 days after the Comptroller General receives from the Secretary a copy of an application submitted under this section, the Comptroller General shall review such application and report to the Committee on Finance of the Senate and the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives on whether the Federal share of the total amount of cash assistance to be provided under the project which is the subject of the application to families residing in transitional facilities plus the total amount of grants to be made to the State under this section is less than or equal to the Federal share of the cost of housing such families in commercial or similar transient facilities (including payments made to cover basic needs and services of such families).

(f) AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.-For grants under this section, there is authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary for the fiscal year 1990 not to exceed $20,000,000, which shall remain available until expended.
