What the document says

“(A) the impact of the ownership by large institutional investors of single-family homes on housing availability and affordability for renters and homebuyers; and”

To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 1001

The section requires the Comptroller General to report to the two committees two years after the prohibition takes effect and again at ten years on the effect of large investor ownership on housing availability and affordability and on how well the section reduced their demand and expanded home ownership. On the same schedule the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, consulting the Treasury, the Rural Housing Service, the Loan Guaranty Service of the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency, must report on whether the definition of a large institutional investor should be adjusted, the financial effect of the section, and any legislative recommendations. Congress states its sense that the section is meant to expand the number of single-family homes available to individuals and that further study should take that into account.

What the document actually says

“(A) the impact of the ownership by large institutional investors of single-family homes on housing availability and affordability for renters and homebuyers; and”

To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 1001
That sentence, in plain words

The report must weigh what large investor ownership does. It looks at whether homes are there to be had. It looks at whether renters and buyers can pay for them.

What this is about

Two reports are required, from two different bodies. Each comes twice, at two years and at ten. The clock starts when the ban takes effect.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check 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.
