What the document says

“If a grantee under this section fails to meet 1 or more critical performance targets under paragraph (2), the Secretary may temporarily suspend the grant.”

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

The new section 124 lets the Secretary temporarily suspend a grant where a grantee misses one or more critical performance targets, and requires the Secretary to give the grantee a performance improvement plan setting out what is needed to lift the suspension within a defined period. A grantee that misses the spending thresholds must send a written report to the Secretary, the appropriate committees of Congress, and each member of Congress representing its district or State, identifying the technical capacity, funding, or federal or State obstacles behind the shortfall.

What the document actually says

“If a grantee under this section fails to meet 1 or more critical performance targets under paragraph (2), the Secretary may temporarily suspend the grant.”

That sentence, in plain words

The housing agency may pause a grant. It may do so when a place misses one of the key targets.

What this is about

With the pause comes a plan to fix things. A place that misses its spending mark must also write a report. That report goes to Congress as well.

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, 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.
