Sec.  1006.301  Eligible families.





    (a) Assistance for eligible housing activities under the Act and 

this part is limited to low-income Native Hawaiian families who are 

eligible to reside on the Hawaiian Home Lands, except as provided under 

paragraphs (b) and (c), of this section.

    (b) Exception to low-income requirement--(1) Other Native Hawaiian 

families. The DHHL may provide assistance for homeownership activities 

and through loan guarantee activities to Native Hawaiian families who 

are not low-income families, as approved by HUD, to address a need for 

housing for those families that cannot be reasonably met without that 

assistance.

    (2) Limitations. HUD approval is required if the DHHL plans to use 

its annual grant amount for assistance in accordance with paragraph 

(b)(1), of this section.

    (c) Other families. The DHHL may provide housing or NHHBG assistance 

to a family that is not low-income and is not composed of Native 

Hawaiians if the DHHL documents that:

    (1) The presence of the family in the housing involved is essential 

to the well-being of Native Hawaiian families; and

    (2) The need for housing for the family cannot be reasonably met 

without the assistance.

    (d) Written policies. The DHHL must develop, follow, and have 

available for review by HUD written policies governing the eligibility, 

admission, and occupancy of families for housing assisted with NHHBG 

funds and governing the selection of families receiving other assistance 

under the Act and this part.
