Paragraph
(19)of section 8(o) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 ( 42 U.S.C. 1437f(o)(19) ) is amended by adding at the end the following new subparagraph: Of the funds made available for rental assistance under this subsection for fiscal year 2015 and each fiscal year thereafter, the Secretary shall set aside 0.1 percent for a supported housing and rental assistance program modeled on the HUD–Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD–VASH) program, to be administered in conjunction with the Department of Veterans Affairs, for the benefit of homeless Native American veterans and veterans at risk of homelessness. Such rental assistance shall be made available to recipients eligible to receive block grants under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 ( 25 U.S.C. 4101 et seq. ). Funds shall be awarded based on need, administrative capacity, and any other funding criteria established by the Secretary in a notice published in the Federal Register, after consultation with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, by a date sufficient to provide for implementation of the program under this subparagraph in accordance with clause (i). Such funds shall be administered by block grant recipients in accordance with program requirements under Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 in lieu of program requirements under this Act. The Secretary may waive, or specify alternative requirements for any provision of any statute or regulation that the Secretary administers in connection with the use of funds made available under this subparagraph, but only upon a finding by the Secretary that such waiver or alternative requirement is necessary to promote administrative efficiency, eliminate delay, consolidate or eliminate duplicative or ineffective requirements or criteria, or otherwise provide for the effective delivery and administration of such supportive housing assistance to Native American veterans. The Secretary and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs shall jointly consult with block grant recipients and any other appropriate tribal organizations to— ensure that block grant recipients administering funds made available under the program under this subparagraph are able to effectively coordinate with providers of supportive services provided in connection with such program; and ensure the effective delivery of supportive services to Native American veterans that are homeless or at risk of homelessness eligible to receive assistance under this subparagraph. Consultation pursuant to this clause shall be completed by a date sufficient to provide for implementation of the program under this subparagraph in accordance with clause (i). The first negotiated rulemaking committee established pursuant to subchapter III of chapter 5 of title 5, United States Code, for rulemaking relating to the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996, or any amendments to such Act, but that is not established to consider matters relating to the allocation formula under section 302 of such Act (25 U.S.C. 4152), shall review the requirements and criteria for the supported housing and rental assistance program under this subparagraph and may report to the Secretary a proposed rule revising such requirements and criteria. .
