“(A) a description of opportunities for increased collaboration between the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, the Secretary of Agriculture, and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to reduce inefficiencies in housing programs;”

To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 801

The section requires the three Secretaries to send a joint report within 180 days of enactment to the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs and the House Committee on Financial Services, describing chances for more collaboration to cut inefficiency in housing programs, listing federal laws and regulations that hurt the availability and affordability of new assisted and residential housing under the three agencies' loan programs, and recommending what Congress should do about them.

What the document actually says

“(A) a description of opportunities for increased collaboration between the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, the Secretary of Agriculture, and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to reduce inefficiencies in housing programs;”

To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 801
That sentence, in plain words

The report must name ways the three agencies could work together better. The aim is to cut waste in housing programs.

What this is about

The report must also list federal laws that make building harder. It must say what Congress could do about them. It goes to two committees.

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.
