The section lets the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, after the initial report required by the section is complete, add up to 25 more public housing agencies rated high performing under the Public Housing Assessment System or the Section 8 Management Assessment Program to a new cohort of the Moving to Work demonstration, to be called the Economic Opportunity and Pathways to Independence Cohort.

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

The housing agency may add up to 25 more housing agencies. Each must be rated as high performing. They join a new group in a long-running test program.

What this is about

Moving to Work lets a housing agency bend some federal rules. The new group has its own name. It may be formed only after a first report is done.

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.
