To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 804

The section requires the Comptroller General to study and report to Congress within a year of enactment on options to remove barriers and improve housing for elderly and disabled people, including the potential effects of capital advances for the supportive housing program for the elderly under section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959 and the supportive housing program for people with disabilities under section 811 of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act.

That sentence, in plain words

The study must find ways to remove barriers. It covers housing for older people and people with disabilities. It must weigh what up front money would do.

What this is about

A capital advance is money paid to help build. Two federal programs house these groups. The study asks what more money would achieve.

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.
