That sentence, in plain words

The housing agency may set up a test program. It runs from 2027 through 2031. Places compete for grants to turn empty buildings into homes people can pay for.

What this is about

Attainable housing is defined in the same section by two income tests. The program depends on Congress setting money aside. Without that money it does not start.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
