U.S. Code as of:

Section 1319. Federal participation in payments for repairs to home owned by recipient of aid or assistance
In the case of an expenditure for repairing the home owned by an
individual who is receiving aid or assistance, other than medical
assistance to the aged, under a State plan approved under
subchapter I, X, XIV, or XVI of this chapter, if -
(1) the State agency or local agency administering the plan
approved under such subchapter has made a finding (prior to
making such expenditure) that (A) such home is so defective that
continued occupancy is unwarranted, (B) unless repairs are made
to such home, rental quarters will be necessary for such
individual, and (C) the cost of rental quarters to take care of
the needs of such individual (including his spouse living with
him in such home and any other individual whose needs were taken
into account in determining the need of such individual) would
exceed (over such time as the Secretary may specify) the cost of
repairs needed to make such home habitable together with other
costs attributable to continued occupancy of such home, and
(2) no such expenditures were made for repairing such home
pursuant to any prior finding under this section,
the amount paid to any such State for any quarter under section
303(a), 1203(a), 1353(a), or 1383(a) of this title shall be
increased by 50 per centum of such expenditures, except that the
excess above $500 expended with respect to any one home shall not
be included in determining such expenditures.
