(b) Documentation of Excessive Rent Burdens.- (1) Data.-The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall collect and maintain, in an automated system, data describing the characteristics of families assisted under the certificate and voucher programs established under section 8 of the the United States Housing Act of 1937, which data shall include the share of family income paid toward rent. (2) Report.-Not less than annually, the Secretary shall submit a report to the Congress setting forth, for each of the certificate program and the voucher program, the percentage of families participating in the program who are paying for rent more than the amount determined under section 3(a)(1) of such Act. The report shall set forth data in appopriate categories, such as various areas of the country, types and sizes of public housing agencies, types of families, and types or markets. The data shall identify the jurisdictions in which more than 10 percent of the families assisted under section 8 of such Act pay for rent more than the amount determined under section 3(a)(1) of such Act and the report shall include an examination of whether the fair market rent for such areas is appropriate. The report shall also include any recommendations of the Secretary for legislative and administrative actions appropriate as a result of analysis of the data.

Such payments may be made with respect to the rental of the real property on which there is located a manufactured home which is owned by any such family. In carrying out this paragraph the Secretary shall enter into annual contributions contracts with public housing agencies pursuant to which such agencies may enter into contracts to make such assistance payments to the owners of such real property. "(B)(i) A contract entered into pursuant to this subparagraph shall establish the rent (including maintenance and management charges) for the space on which a manufactured home is located and with respect to which assistance payments are to be made. The public housing agency shall establish a payment standard based on the fair market rental established by the Secretary periodically (but not less than annually) with respect to the market area for the rental of real property suitable for occupancy by families assisted under this subparagraph. "(ii) The amount of any monthly assistance payment with respect to any family which rents real property which is assisted under this subparagraph and on which is located a manufactured home which is owned by such family shall be the amount by which 30 percent of the family's monthly adjusted income is exceeded by the sum of- "(I) the monthly payment made by such family to amortize the cost of purchasing the manufactured home; "(II) the monthly utility payments made by such family, subject to reasonable limitations prescribed by the Secretary; and "(III) the payment standard with respect to the real property which is rented by such family for the purpose of locating its manufactured home; except that in no case may such assistance exceed the amount by which the rent for the property exceeds 10 percent of the family's monthly income. "(C) The provisions of paragraph (6)(A) shall apply to the adjustments of maximum monthly rents under this paragraph. "(D) The Secretary may carry out this paragraph without regard to whether the manufactured home park is existing, substantially rehabilitated, or newly constructed. "(E) In the case of any substantially rehabilitated or newly constructed manufactured home park containing spaces with respect to which assistance is made under this paragraph, the principal amount of the mortgage attributable to the rental spaces within the park may not exceed an amount established by the Secretary which is equal to or less than the limitation for manufactured home parks described in section 207(c)(3) of the National Housing Act, and the Secretary may increase such limitation in high cost areas in the manner described in such section.
