What the document says

“(C) during the 3-year period preceding the date on which the Secretary allocates funds under section 106, the jurisdiction of the covered recipient has been the subject of a major disaster or emergency declaration”

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

The section defines an eligible recipient as any metropolitan city or urban county receiving funds under section 106 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, unless it has both rents at or below the 60th percentile of covered recipients and a median home value below the national median, or a rental vacancy rate above the national rate, or has been the subject of a major disaster or emergency declaration under section 401 or 501 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act in the preceding three years, or lacks legal authority to enact or update zoning and permitting ordinances.

What the document actually says

“(C) during the 3-year period preceding the date on which the Secretary allocates funds under section 106, the jurisdiction of the covered recipient has been the subject of a major disaster or emergency declaration”

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

A place hit by a big disaster is left out. That covers the three years before the money is handed out.

What this is about

Three other things also leave a place out. Cheap rents and homes is one. A high share of empty rentals is another. So is having no power to set zoning.

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.
