To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 404

The new subsection lets a covered family have its income recertified more than once a year at its own request, as the Secretary determines, and requires recertification at least once a year, unless the entity has an alternative rent structure the Secretary has approved. A family is not required to sign a standard contract of participation or an individual training and services plan to take part.

What the document actually says

“a covered family may recertify the income of the covered family multiple times per year at the request of the participating family, as determined by the Secretary, and not less frequently than once per year, unless the eligible entity has established an alternative rent structure with approval from the Secretary.”

That sentence, in plain words

A family may ask to have its income checked again. It may do so more than once a year. It must be checked at least once a year.

What this is about

Recertifying means proving income again. Rent follows from that figure. A family need not sign a training plan to join this program.

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.
