 (a) Authority.-Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may permit public housing
agencies to allow police officers and other security personnel (who are
not otherwise eligible for residence in public housing) to reside in
public housing dwelling units in accordance with this section.
 
 (b) Plan.-To be eligible to utilize dwelling units as provided under
this section, a public housing agency shall submit to the Secretary a
plan identifying the projects in which the police officers or security
personnel will reside and describing the anticipated benefits from such
residence.
 
 (c) Approval.-The Secretary may approve a plan and authorize the use
of dwelling units under this section only if the Secretary determines
that such use will-
 
 (1) increase security for other public housing residents;
 
 (2) result in a limited loss of income to the public housing agency;
and
 
 (3) not result in a significant reduction of units available for
residence by families eligible for such residence under the provisions
of the United States Housing Act of 1937.
The Secretary shall notify each public housing agency submitting a plan
under subsection (b) of approval or disapproval of the plan not later
than 30 days after the Secretary receives the plan.
 
 (d) Terms.-Upon approving a plan under subsection (b), the Secretary
shall waive the applicability of any occupancy requirements with respect
to the officers or other personnel, and may permit the public housing
agency submitting the plan to establish such special rent requirements
and other terms and conditions of occupancy that the Secretary considers
appropriate.
