That sentence, in plain words

The housing agency must gather what works well with these plans. It must share what it learns. The information goes on its website.

What this is about

One town's plan can help another town. Sharing saves the second town the work. The agency is also told to urge towns to post their own.

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.
