The section replaces the per-unit dollar limits in sections 207(c)(3)(A), 213(b)(2), 220(d)(3)(B)(iii)(I), 221(d)(4)(ii)(I), 231(c)(2)(A), and 234(e)(3)(A) of the National Housing Act, in each case striking the older figure and inserting a much larger one. It also strikes the clause capping a figure at $17,460 per space in section 207(c)(3)(A). The new figures across the seven programs run from $166,509 to $385,387.

That sentence, in plain words

One old dollar figure is taken out. A much larger one goes in. That is done again and again down the list.

What this is about

These figures cap how much a loan may cover per home. They were set long ago and never kept up. The same swap is made in seven programs.

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.

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.
