 limited to participation in loans  originated  or  financed  by  lending
 institutions as defined in section forty-two of this chapter, private or
 public  employee pension funds or the state of New York mortgage agency,
 or grants, on such terms and conditions as the grantee with the approval
 of the corporation shall determine,  provided  that  no  such  payments,
 grants  and  loans  shall  exceed the lesser of (i) sixty percent of the
 project cost for projects involving acquisition or one  hundred  percent
 of  rehabilitation programs without an acquisition component or (ii) the
 following per dwelling unit limitations (A) thirty-five thousand dollars
