Funding follows the ordinary formula, with renewal of what was spent

The document says “shallWho acts: Secretary of Housing and Urban DevelopmentHow: statuteSec. 505 in the PDF
What the document says

“shall be determined according to the same funding formula applicable to public housing agencies that do not participate in the Moving to Work demonstration, except that the Secretary shall provide public housing agencies funding to renew any funds expended under this subsection, with an adjustment for inflation.”

To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 505

The section provides that renewal funding for section 8(o) housing assistance payments follows the same formula as for agencies outside the demonstration, except that the Secretary must fund the renewal of anything spent under the 5 percent flexibility, adjusted for inflation. Administrative fees, public housing operating subsidies, and capital funding also follow the ordinary formulas.

What the document actually says

“shall be determined according to the same funding formula applicable to public housing agencies that do not participate in the Moving to Work demonstration, except that the Secretary shall provide public housing agencies funding to renew any funds expended under this subsection, with an adjustment for inflation.”

That sentence, in plain words

The money is worked out the same way as for agencies outside the test. The one difference is that money moved to other uses is renewed. That renewal rises with prices.

What this is about

Without this, moving money could shrink next year's share. That would punish an agency for using the flexibility. This keeps the share whole.

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.

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.
