What the document says
“the Secretary shall prioritize applicants that will carry out activities that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income residents and preserve”
The new section 123 requires the Secretary, in awarding grants, to give priority to applicants whose activities primarily benefit low- and moderate-income residents and preserve long-term housing affordability for residents of eligible manufactured housing communities.
What the document actually says
“the Secretary shall prioritize applicants that will carry out activities that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income residents and preserve”
That sentence, in plain words
The housing agency must put some applicants first. Those are the ones whose work mainly helps people with low or middling income.
What this is about
Priority also goes to work that keeps homes affordable for a long time. Priority means a better chance at the money. It does not promise a grant.

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.
