What the document says
“``(H) such principal amount as the Secretary may prescribe if made for the purpose of financing the construction of an accessory dwelling unit.'';”
The section adds a new subparagraph (H) to section 2(b)(1) of the National Housing Act setting the limit for a loan financing the construction of an accessory dwelling unit at whatever principal amount the Secretary prescribes.
What the document actually says
“``(H) such principal amount as the Secretary may prescribe if made for the purpose of financing the construction of an accessory dwelling unit.'';”
That sentence, in plain words
For an extra home on a lot, the housing agency sets the limit. The law names no figure.
What this is about
Every other limit in the list is a set number. This one is left open. The agency will name it later.
