To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 502

The new section 545 requires the Secretary of Agriculture, through an annual notice in the Federal Register, to make an owner file a plan naming financing sources and a timetable for the renovations and improvements the Secretary finds necessary to keep the project going, before approving a rental assistance contract under the section.

What the document actually says

“Before the approval of a rental assistance contract authorized under this section, the Secretary shall require, through an annual notice in the Federal Register, the owner to submit to the Secretary a plan that identifies financing sources and a timetable for renovations and improvements determined to be necessary by the Secretary to maintain and preserve the project.”

That sentence, in plain words

The owner must hand in a plan before the deal is approved. The plan names where the money will come from. It also gives dates for the repair work.

What this is about

The farm agency asks for this through a yearly notice. That notice goes in the Federal Register. Without the plan there is no contract.

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.

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.
