7. A project of new construction or substantial rehabilitation by a nonprofit organization shall be eligible for a loan under this act if (1) the homes to be constructed or substantially rehabilitated under the project are located within an identifiable neighborhood in which median family income does not exceed the current standard of “moderate income” pursuant to the contemporaneous standards of the Council on Affordable Housing; (2) the homes to be constructed or substantially rehabilitated under the project are sufficient in number and located on the same or contiguous parcels of land or within such proximity to each other as to render the cost per unit of housing practicable for acquisition by lower-income purchasers; and (3) each home constructed or substantially rehabilitated within the project will conform to all requirements of the State Uniform Construction Code, except as to the waiver of any fee or other requirement pursuant to subsection b. of section 9 of this act.
