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

The section amends the first sentence of section 231(a) of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act so that the set-aside applies where a community housing development organization materially participates in the ownership or development of the housing, as the Secretary determines, rather than where the organization develops, sponsors, or owns it.

What the document actually says

“by striking ``to be developed, sponsored, or owned by community housing development organizations'' and inserting ``when a community housing development organization materially participates in the ownership or development of that housing, as determined by the Secretary''.”

That sentence, in plain words

Old words about who builds or owns the housing come out. New words go in. They ask whether the group takes a real part in it.

What this is about

The old test looked at who held the title. The new one looks at the group's role. The housing agency decides what counts.

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.
