To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 304

The new section 123 bars grant money from being used to rehabilitate or modernize units built before June 15, 1976, and allows it to be used for the disposition and replacement of those units, provided any replacement housing meets the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards or is another type of home the Secretary allows.

What the document actually says

“``(A) may not be used for rehabilitation or modernization of units that were built before June 15, 1976; and”

To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 304
That sentence, in plain words

The money may not be used to fix up homes built before June 15, 1976. Making them modern does not count either.

What this is about

That date is when the federal building rules began. Older homes may be taken out and swapped for new ones. The new home must meet the rules or another type the agency allows.

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.
