What the document says
“by striking ``adequate distribution'' and all that follows through ``foreclosure rates'' and inserting ``that the recipients are geographically diverse and include organizations that serve urban or rural areas'';”
The section amends section 106(a)(4)(C) of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, replacing the existing wording about distribution with a requirement that recipients be geographically diverse and include organizations serving urban or rural areas.
What the document actually says
“by striking ``adequate distribution'' and all that follows through ``foreclosure rates'' and inserting ``that the recipients are geographically diverse and include organizations that serve urban or rural areas'';”
That sentence, in plain words
Some old words come out. New words go in. The new words say the groups picked must be spread out. Some must serve cities. Some must serve the country.
What this is about
Housing counseling groups help people buy or keep a home. Money for them comes from the housing agency. This rule says the money should not all go to one place.

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.
