What the document says
“Amounts deposited into the Coast Guard Housing Fund in fiscal year 2026 shall be available until expended to carry out the purposes of section 2946 of title 14, United States Code, and shall be in addition to funds otherwise available for such purposes.”
Section 218. Money paid into the Coast Guard Housing Fund during fiscal year 2026 does not lapse at the end of the year. It stays available until spent for the purposes of section 2946 of title 14, and is on top of other money available for those purposes.
What the document actually says
“Amounts deposited into the Coast Guard Housing Fund in fiscal year 2026 shall be available until expended to carry out the purposes of section 2946 of title 14, United States Code, and shall be in addition to funds otherwise available for such purposes.”
That sentence, in plain words
Money put into the housing fund this year stays until it is used. It adds to other housing money.
What this is about
The Coast Guard houses crews in remote places. This fund pays for that. Building takes more than one year.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
