That sentence, in plain words

New words let a loan go to an applicant with low income. One figure also comes out and a bigger one goes in. It rises from $7,500 to $15,000.

What this is about

Section 504 helps pay for small repairs to farm homes. The old cap was set long ago. Doubling it lets it cover more work.

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.
