Output:
HOPE VI Green Building and Technical Assistance Act of 2007 - Amends the United States Housing Act of 1937 to prescribe green communities requirements for grant applicants regarding revitalization programs for severely distressed public housing.

Prohibits the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development from making a grant unless the applicant's revitalization plan complies with both the mandatory and some of the nonmandatory green communities affordable housing design, development, and operation criteria as they appear on the national Green Communities program checklist. Adds to such criteria specified requirements for nonresidential structures covered by the plan.

Directs the Secretary to establish verification procedures.

Repeals current technical assistance and program oversight funding authority, including those for assistance in connection with establishment and operation of computer centers in public housing through the Neighborhoods Networks initiative. Replaces it with mandatory funding for additional grants to assist: (1) potential and actual revitalization grant applicants in developing and planning revitalization programs; or (2) revitalization grant recipients in obtaining technical assistance in carrying out such programs.

Input:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Access for Afghan Women Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Despite the removal of the Taliban from power, Afghan
        women continue to experience brutal violation of their human
        rights, generally outside of Kabul where warlords are
        reexerting control.
            (2) Strong and continued United States support can ensure
        that the advances made by Afghan women since the fall of the
        Taliban will continue and grow, rather than recede.
            (3) The United States has made a substantial contribution
        to the emergency relief and humanitarian efforts for
        Afghanistan. Completing the United States mission in
        Afghanistan will also require significant and long-term
        investments in development and reconstruction assistance.
            (4) The maternal mortality rate in Afghanistan is one of
        the highest in the world, with recent reports estimating that
        every 30 minutes an Afghan women dies (about 15,000 women every
        year) of pregnancy related causes. The estimated maternal
        mortality rate of 1,700 deaths per 100,000 live births can be
        significantly and rapidly reduced through access to primary
        health care services, including safe birthing supplies,
        emergency obstetric care, prenatal and postnatal care,
        contraception, and prevention and treatment for the effects of
        sexual coercion and rape.
            (5) Women make up 75 percent or more of the refugees and
        internally displaced in camps, urban areas, and villages.
            (6) Eighty-five percent of Afghanistan's population lives
        in rural areas. The women in rural areas perform vital roles in
        food production, processing, and preparation. Successful
        reconstruction and development assistance must target rural
        women as part of any agricultural interventions.
            (7) Within Afghanistan and outside of Afghanistan, local
        women's organizations are delivering critical services and have
        the knowledge and experience to assist the United States in
        delivering effective relief aid.
            (8) The Afghan Ministry for Women's Affairs is an important
        new ministry that is essential for re-establishing women's
        human rights, ensuring that women are included in all
        development efforts, and delivering critical legal, health,
        education, and economic services to women throughout
        Afghanistan's 30 provinces.
            (9) Afghan women are taking the initiative to reach across
        the conflict divide and foster peace. Women's perspectives and
        experiences in seeking solutions to conflicts are necessary to
        ensure lasting peace.
            (10) Adequate security in both urban and rural areas is
        essential if women and girls are to exercise their human
        rights, work, attend school, and otherwise participate in and
        benefit from humanitarian and development programs sponsored by
        the United States.

SEC. 3. REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO UNITED STATES ACTIVITIES IN

        particular needs of women and emphasize that violations of
