The new subsection lists seven subjects the testimony must cover: the Department's current programs and operations, the physical condition of public and other assisted housing, the financial health of the mortgage insurance funds, the Department's oversight of grantees and subgrantees against waste, fraud, and abuse, progress in ending the affordable housing and homelessness crises, the Department's capacity to deliver on its statutory mission, and other ongoing activities as appropriate.

That sentence, in plain words

One subject is the state of the buildings the agency helps. Another is the health of the funds that back home loans. A third is how the agency watches over the groups that get its money.

What this is about

Seven subjects are named in all. Some cover buildings and money. Others cover whether the agency can do the job the law gives it.

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.
