What the document says

To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 213

The section requires the Secretary to pay a bonus on top of the ordinary section 106 allocation where a recipient's housing growth improvement rate is at or above the median for all eligible recipients other than extremely high-growth recipients, or where the recipient is itself an extremely high-growth recipient. The bonus is the total taken from recipients whose allocations were cut, multiplied by that recipient's share of the housing units added across all bonus recipients over the preceding year.

What the document actually says

“the Secretary shall allocate to the eligible recipient for that fiscal year, in addition to the amount that would otherwise be allocated to the eligible recipient under section 106, a bonus amount, as determined under clause (ii) of this subparagraph.”

That sentence, in plain words

The place gets extra money for that year. The extra sits on top of what it would get anyway. The rules set how much extra it is.

What this is about

The bonus pot is made of the money taken from other places. Each winner gets a share of it. The share follows how many homes it added.

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.
