severely distressed public housing

(A) that—

(ii) is occupied predominantly by families with children who are in a severe state of distress, characterized by such factors as high rates of unemployment, teenage pregnancy, single-parent households, long-term dependency on public assistance and minimal educational achievement;

(iii) is in a location for recurrent vandalism and criminal activity (including drug-related criminal activity); and

(iv) cannot remedy the elements of distress specified in clauses (i) through (iii) through assistance under other programs, such as the programs under section 1437g or 1437l of this title, or through other administrative means; or

(B) that—

(i) is owned by a public housing agency designated as troubled pursuant to section 1437d(j)(2) of this title;

(ii) has a vacancy rate, as determined by the Secretary, of 50 percent or more, unless the project or building is vacant because it is awaiting rehabilitation under a modernization program under section 1437l of this title that—

(I) has been approved and funded; and

(II) as determined by the Secretary, is on schedule and is expected to result in full occupancy of the project or building upon completion of the program; and

(iii) in the case of individual buildings, the building is, in the Secretary's determination, sufficiently separable from the remainder of the project to make use of the building feasible for purposes of this subtitle.2
