(ii)    the number of dwellings required for a community development project under § 4–217(b)(1)(ii) of this title or the number of dwellings that the issuer of the bonds chooses, whichever is greater, if a portion of the costs of the residential rehabilitation project is financed by government–issued, federally tax–exempt revenue bonds.

(b)    Dwellings restricted for occupancy to meet other federal or State occupancy requirements may be counted toward the number required under subsection (a) of this section.
