(b) In addition, the Director shall supplement or supplant any federal program with the State Home Weatherization Assistance Program. (1) The State Program shall provide an enhanced weatherization assistance amount exceeding the federal per-unit limit allowing amounts up to an average of $15,300.00 per unit allocated on a cost-effective basis. The allowable average per unit of multifamily buildings will be $4,500.00. In units where costs exceed the allowable average by more than 25 percent, prior approval of the Director of the State Economic Opportunity Office shall be required before work commences. This amount shall be adjusted annually to account for inflation of materials and labor. * * *
(c) The Director shall require landlords that are not income eligible to enter into a rent stabilization agreement that takes into account the energy cost reductions projected to be obtained by eligible tenants of the unit. The time periods established for rent stabilization shall be set taking into account the size of benefits received by tenants and landlords as well as the effect on Program participation. * * *
