Plain-English Summary

The bill would allow the Housing and Urban Development Secretary to give priority to housing grants for organizations that are located in or help low-income communities. This means nonprofits, local governments, and other groups working to improve housing in poor neighborhoods would have a better chance of receiving federal funding. The change aims to direct more housing assistance directly to the communities that need it most.
