The section defines an eligible entity as a State, insular area, metropolitan city, or urban county as those terms are used in section 102 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, or a regional planning agency or consortium of such agencies. It defines a housing plan as a plan to increase the amount and affordability of housing, increase accessibility for people with disabilities, preserve or improve housing quality, reduce barriers to development, and coordinate with transportation agencies.

That sentence, in plain words

One aim of a housing plan is more homes. It must meet what people need now and what they will need later. Another aim is homes people can pay for.

What this is about

A housing plan is a written plan for an area. It also covers homes people with disabilities can use. It has to line up with plans for buses and trains.

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.
