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

The section adds a new subsection (c) to section 542 of the Housing Act of 1949 letting the Secretary of Agriculture give rural housing vouchers to any low-income household, including those not receiving rental assistance, living for a term longer than the remainder of their lease in a property financed under sections 514, 515, or 516 whose loan has been prepaid, foreclosed, or matured after September 30, 2005. A separate subsection sets how the monthly assistance payment is worked out and provides for interim and annual review.

That sentence, in plain words

The loan was paid off early, with or without conditions. Or the property was foreclosed on. Or the loan came due after September 30, 2005.

What this is about

A voucher helps a tenant pay rent. When a building leaves the program, the tenant can be left exposed. This widens who may get one.

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.
