The section establishes an account in the Treasury called the Long-Term Disaster Recovery Fund, made up of amounts appropriated, transferred, and credited to it. Money may be transferred in from amounts freed under section 106(c)(4) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 and from unobligated or recaptured balances appropriated for disaster purposes under the Community Development Fund heading before the Fund existed. Amounts in the Fund stay available until spent, and grants from it are made by formula allocation.

That sentence, in plain words

A new account is set up in the Treasury. It is called the Long-Term Disaster Recovery Fund.

What this is about

The fund holds money for rebuilding after a disaster. Money in it does not expire at the end of a year. Older disaster money can be moved in.

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.
