What the document says

“(A) reduce the safety of those residents; (B) shift long-term costs onto those residents; or (C) undermine the environmental standards of those residents.”

To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 802

The section requires the two Secretaries to report within a year of enactment to the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs and the House Committee on Financial Services with recommendations for legislative, regulatory, or administrative action to make jointly funded housing projects more efficient and effective, so long as those recommendations do not materially reduce residents' safety, shift long-term costs onto residents, or undermine environmental standards for them.

What the document actually says

“(A) reduce the safety of those residents; (B) shift long-term costs onto those residents; or (C) undermine the environmental standards of those residents.”

To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 802
That sentence, in plain words

A change may not make residents less safe. It may not push long-term costs onto them. It may not weaken the standards that protect them.

What this is about

The report must suggest ways to make these projects work better. The three limits are guardrails. A change that crosses one may not be recommended.

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.
