What the document says

“the authority of the Secretary to grant waivers to agencies admitted to the Moving to Work demonstration under this section or to designate policy changes as part of a cohort design under this section shall be limited to the Moving to Work waivers codified as of January 2025”

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

The section limits the Secretary's power to grant waivers or designate policy changes for the new cohort to the Moving to Work waivers codified as of January 2025 in Appendix I of the Department's Operations Notice for the Expansion of the Moving to Work Demonstration Program published in the Federal Register on August 28, 2020, as amended by the technical revisions notice published on March 20, 2025.

What the document actually says

“the authority of the Secretary to grant waivers to agencies admitted to the Moving to Work demonstration under this section or to designate policy changes as part of a cohort design under this section shall be limited to the Moving to Work waivers codified as of January 2025”

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

The housing agency may grant only the waivers already on the books. That set was fixed as of January 2025. The same limit covers changes made as part of the group's design.

What this is about

A waiver lets a housing agency skip a federal rule. This set comes from two notices in the daily paper of the government. Nothing outside that set may be granted.

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.
