That sentence, in plain words

The housing agency must send a yearly report to Congress. It goes to two committees. It sums up the data from the year and from all the years before.

What this is about

The states and towns report to the housing agency. The housing agency then reports to Congress. Each report builds on the last one.

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.
