the percentage of the home assistance subsidy, as a percent of the initial purchase 
price, rounded to the nearest tenth.  If the full amount of HOME recapture is not 
available from the proceeds of the sale, the amount will be reduced based on the 
proceeds available.

for administration and the remaining funds will be used for additional HOME-
eligible projects per the HOME regulations.
