What the document says
“a designation of assistance under section 13 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act, as added by subsection (a), shall only apply with respect to funds appropriated after the date of enactment of this Act.”
The section provides that the new designation applies only to funds appropriated after enactment, and that it does not apply at all where a grantee combines funds appropriated before and after enactment to carry out a project.
What the document actually says
“a designation of assistance under section 13 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act, as added by subsection (a), shall only apply with respect to funds appropriated after the date of enactment of this Act.”
That sentence, in plain words
The label reaches only new money. Money set aside before this law passed is not covered.
What this is about
To appropriate is for Congress to set money aside. Some projects mix old money and new. In that case the label does not apply at all.

How to Read This Page
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.
