What the document says

The section requires the Secretary to make grant recipients report on the effect of the funded work on the production and supply of affordable housing, the designs they selected, the number of permits issued for housing using those designs, and the number of housing units produced in developments using them.
What the document actually says
“(1) the impacts of the activities carried out using the grant amounts in improving the production and supply of affordable housing; (2) the prereviewed designs selected using the grant amounts in their communities; (3) the number of permits issued for housing development utilizing prereviewed designs; and”
That sentence, in plain words
The town must report what the money did for the supply of affordable homes. It must say which ready-made plans it picked. It must count the permits given for homes built from them.
What this is about
A permit is a town's approval to build. Counting permits shows whether the plans got used. Counting finished homes shows what came of it.

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.
