To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 504

The new section 124 makes a grant conditional on the grantee certifying nine things: full compliance with the public consultation rules, conformity with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Fair Housing Act except for grants to Indian tribes, that the projected use gives maximum feasible priority to the named beneficiaries and activities, that funds will principally benefit people of low and moderate income, that non-disaster housing plans will be reviewed and updated within 24 months, that capital costs of public improvements will not be assessed against low and moderate income owner-occupants except in the cases stated, compliance with the other provisions of the title and other law, adherence to a relocation assistance policy, and adherence to the hazard-prone area standards.

What the document actually says

“``(4) the grant funds shall principally benefit persons of low- and moderate-income as described in subsection (c)(4)(A);”

To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 504
That sentence, in plain words

The money must mainly help people with low or middling income. The place must promise that in writing before it gets a grant.

What this is about

A certification is a written promise made to get the money. Nine are required here. They cover civil rights, fair housing, and how costs may be charged.

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.

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.
