 6 contracts with eligible applicants to provide grants which such appli-
 7 cants shall use to finance affordable home ownership development
 8 programs subject to the terms and conditions of this article. Any grants

 10 funds. Grantees shall utilize funds provided pursuant to this article
 11 solely as payments, grants and loans to owners to reduce the costs of
 12 new construction, rehabilitation or home improvement or the cost of
 13 acquisition, but only where such acquisition is part of an affordable
 14 home ownership development program or project to construct or rehabili-
 15 tate homes, or as otherwise authorized by law. Such financial assistance
 16 may be in the form of loans, participation in loans including but not

 18 institutions as defined in section forty-two of this chapter, private or
 19 public employee pension funds or the state of New York mortgage agency,
 20 or grants, on such terms and conditions as the grantee with the approval
 21 of the corporation shall determine, provided that no such payments,
 22 grants and loans shall exceed the lesser of (i) sixty percent of the
