Building and keeping the database is an eligible use of grant money
The document says “is amended”Who acts: grantees under the Community Development Block Grant programHow: statuteSec. 104 in the PDF
What the document says
“``(27) the creation and maintenance of a database of land as required under section 104(b)(7).''.”
The section adds a new paragraph (27) to section 105(a) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, making the creation and upkeep of the land database an activity the grant may pay for.
What the document actually says
“``(27) the creation and maintenance of a database of land as required under section 104(b)(7).''.”
That sentence, in plain words
Making the land list is on the list of allowed uses. Keeping it up to date is too.
What this is about
Section 105(a) names what block grant money may pay for. If a use is not on that list, the money cannot go to it. This puts the land database on the list.

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.
