Defines "moderate rehabilitation" as rehabilitation which: (1) costs between $1,000 and $20,000; (2) brings the property into compliance with local code requirements, or involves the repair of systems or appliances which would require repair within five years or which achieve cost or energy efficiency; and (3) involves cosmetic improvements or the repair or replacement of the plumbing, heating, elevator, electrical systems, windows, stairs, floors, walks, or roof. Authorizes the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to make grants to State and local governments to provide moderate rehabilitation assistance to owners of eligible multifamily housing properties in localities which have low multifamily housing vacancy rates and which show housing deterioration.

Authorizes the Secretary to make housing assistance payments to owners of assisted properties on behalf of residents with incomes of not more than 80 percent of the median area income to avoid displacement and to maintain the resident's rental payments at not more than 30 percent of their income. Amends the National Housing Act to permit coinsurance on an eligible property within a Target Preservation Area to include provisions that: (1) require insurance benefits to equal 90 percent of the mortgage and 90 percent of interest arrears; (2) require the mortgagee to remit to the Secretary 90 percent of the mortgagee's net proceeds on the property; (3) require the payment of benefits in cash; and (4) allow the underwriter to reinsure ten percent of the mortgage with a private or State insurance company. Authorizes the Secretary to: (1) include rehabilitation costs of up to $20,000 when insuring a mortgage for the purchase or refinancing of an eligible property; (2) permit subordinated liens securing up to the full amount of mortgage financing provided by State or local governments; and (3) pay insurance benefits in cash.
