What the document says

“in paragraph (2), by striking ``$500,000'' each place that term appears and inserting ``$750,000'';”

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

The section amends section 217(b) of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act to raise the minimum allocation figure from $500,000 to $750,000 wherever it appears in paragraph (2), makes matching changes in paragraph (3) that keep the older figure for allocations before the Act's enactment, and strikes paragraph (4).

What the document actually says

“in paragraph (2), by striking ``$500,000'' each place that term appears and inserting ``$750,000'';”

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

One figure comes out of an older rule. Every time it shows up, it is swapped. It rises from five hundred thousand to seven hundred fifty thousand.

What this is about

The figure is the smallest share a place can get. Below it, a place is treated differently. The older figure still governs allocations made before this law.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against 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.
