period of affordability established by the participating jurisdiction in 
the written agreement under Sec. 92.504. However, additional HOME funds 
may be committed to a project up to one year after project completion

exceed the maximum per-unit subsidy amount established under 
Sec. 92.250.
    (7) Pay for the acquisition of property owned by the participating

    (b) Participating jurisdictions may not charge monitoring, servicing 
and origination fees in HOME-assisted projects. However, participating 
jurisdictions may charge nominal application fees (although these fees 
are not an eligible HOME cost) to project owners to discourage frivolous 
applications. Such fees are applicable credits under OMB Circular A-87.
