in subsection 3, to be eligible for assistance from the Account, a person must:

subsection, have been a tenant in the same manufactured home park in this State
for at least 1 year immediately preceding his or her application for

determined by the Administrator in accordance with subsection 2, which is at or
below:
(1) The federally designated level
signifying poverty or thirty percent of the median family income, as prescribed
by the HOME Investment Partnerships Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12701 et seq., adjusted
for household size, which the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development has established for the area of the State in which the manufactured
home is located, whichever is greater; or
(2) A maximum monthly household income
that the Administrator has established by regulation pursuant to subsection 5;
(d) Be a tenant in a manufactured home park that

Ê A person who
has been a tenant of a manufactured home park in this State for at least 1
year, but has not been a tenant of the manufactured home park in which the
tenant resides at the time the tenant applies for assistance for at least 1
year, is eligible for assistance from the Account if the tenant moved to the
manufactured home park in which the tenant resides at the time of his or her application
because the tenant was unable to pay the rent at the manufactured home park
from which the tenant moved or because that park was closed.
2. In determining the monthly household
income of an applicant pursuant to subsection 1, the Administrator shall
exclude from the calculation:

pursuant to Medicare Part B, 42 U.S.C. §§ 1395j et seq., the value of the cost
of that coverage during the year immediately preceding his or her application
for assistance,
Ê whichever is
greater.
3. The Administrator may waive the
requirements for eligibility set forth in subsection 1 upon the written request
of an applicant if the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the
Administrator that the circumstances of the applicant warrant a waiver as a
result of:
(a) Illness;
(b) Disability; or
(c) Extreme financial hardship based upon a
significant reduction of income, when considering the applicant’s current
financial circumstances.
Ê An applicant
shall include with his or her request for a waiver all medical and financial
documents that support his or her request.

receiving assistance pursuant to this section. The regulations must require
that each such person provide the Division with a written acknowledgment of his
or her continued eligibility for assistance.

distributed to a person to supplement his or her monthly rent pursuant to this
section.
5. The Administrator may adopt regulations
establishing a maximum monthly household income for a person to be eligible for
