To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 501

The section amends section 223 of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, renaming it to cover program enforcement and penalties for noncompliance, extending it to provisions applicable throughout the affordability period required by section 215(a)(1)(E), and adding a new remedy of reducing payments to a participating jurisdiction by the amount it did not spend in accordance with the title.

What the document actually says

“``(4) reduce payments to the participating jurisdiction under this subtitle by an amount equal to the amount of such payments that were not expended by the participating jurisdiction in accordance with this title.''.”

That sentence, in plain words

The housing agency may cut what it pays a place. The cut equals the money that place did not spend by the rules.

What this is about

The older law set out penalties for misusing money. This widens them to any failure to comply. The new remedy is a matching cut.
