What the document says
“Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall establish a program to award grants on a competitive basis to eligible entities that have increased their local housing supply.”
The section requires the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to set up, within a year of enactment, a competitive grant program for eligible entities that have increased their local housing supply.
What the document actually says
“Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall establish a program to award grants on a competitive basis to eligible entities that have increased their local housing supply.”
That sentence, in plain words
The housing agency must set up a grant program within a year. Places compete for the money. Only places that grew their housing supply may enter.
What this is about
This is a reward for building, not help to start. A place must have already done the work. The grant follows after.
