To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 102

The section lets the Secretary set up a competitive grant program for pilot projects testing the safety, feasibility, or cost-effectiveness of point-access block residential buildings, and provides that the program terminates 7 years after the subsection is enacted. An eligible entity is defined to include a State, local or Tribal government, public housing agency, nonprofit, developer, construction, design, engineering, academic, or research body, or a partnership of two or more of them.

That sentence, in plain words

The housing agency may set up a grant program. Groups can compete for the money. They would use it to build test projects and study how they work.

What this is about

A pilot project is a small test done before a wider change. The grants are not required. The program stops after 7 years.
