What the document says
“After the expiration of the 5-year period beginning on the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary may not newly establish a program as described in this section.”
The section bars the Secretary from newly establishing a program of this kind once five years have run from enactment, and separately provides that the program established under the section terminates five years after enactment.
What the document actually says
“After the expiration of the 5-year period beginning on the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary may not newly establish a program as described in this section.”
That sentence, in plain words
Five years after this law starts, the door closes. After that the housing agency may not start a new program of this kind.
What this is about
A second rule ends the program already running. Both clocks run five years. Congress must act again to keep it going.

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.
