What the document says
“``(i) are located across various States and in both urban and rural areas; and ``(ii) vary by size and type, including both public housing agencies and private owners of projects receiving project-based rental assistance under section 8.”
An eligible entity seeking to take part must apply to the Secretary at the time and in the manner the Secretary requires by notice, stating how many covered families it proposes to serve. The Secretary must ensure that the entities chosen sit across various States and in both urban and rural areas, and vary by size and type, taking in both public housing agencies and private owners of projects with project-based rental assistance under section 8.
What the document actually says
“``(i) are located across various States and in both urban and rural areas; and ``(ii) vary by size and type, including both public housing agencies and private owners of projects receiving project-based rental assistance under section 8.”
That sentence, in plain words
The bodies chosen must sit in many states. Some must be in cities and some in the country. They must differ in size and kind, both public and private.
What this is about
A test tells more when it covers different places. It also tells more when it covers different landlords. The law says both must be true here.

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.
