What the document says
“Notwithstanding any other provision of law or regulation, a recipient may request a waiver to the expenditure limit established pursuant to section 415(b) for amounts provided for each of fiscal years 2027 through 2030.”
The section adds a new subsection (f) to section 414 of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act letting a recipient ask the Secretary to waive the expenditure limit set under section 415(b) for money provided for each of fiscal years 2027 through 2030.
What the document actually says
“Notwithstanding any other provision of law or regulation, a recipient may request a waiver to the expenditure limit established pursuant to section 415(b) for amounts provided for each of fiscal years 2027 through 2030.”
That sentence, in plain words
A place that gets this money may ask for a waiver. The waiver lifts a limit on how the money is spent. It covers the years 2027 through 2030.
What this is about
A spending cap holds one use of the money to a share. A waiver lets a place go past it. The place must ask, and it may be told no.

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.
