Sets forth provisions regarding: (1) grant application requirements; (2) allocation of funds and grant renewal; (3) criteria for awarding grants; and (4) reporting requirements.

Directs the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to determine the need adjusted per capita income for certain economically distressed central cities, based on a specified formula.
