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

The section rewrites section 226(b) of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act so that a review by a local government must include an onsite inspection for compliance with housing codes and other regulations, a review by a State must include an onsite inspection against a national standard the Secretary sets, and the results of each review must go into the jurisdiction's performance report and be made public.

What the document actually says

“``(3) Inclusion in performance report and publication.--A participating jurisdiction shall include in the performance report of the participating jurisdiction submitted to the Secretary under section 108(a), and make available to the public, the results of each review conducted under paragraph (1).''.”

That sentence, in plain words

A place must put the results of each review in its yearly report. That report goes to the housing agency. It must also make the results public.

What this is about

A town checks against its own housing codes. A state checks against one national rule. Either way somebody must go and see the home.

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.
