§423 — Title 24 Hospitals and Asylums | U.S. Code

Summary

The Chief Operating Officer and the Administrator of the Armed Forces Retirement Home—Washington can apply for and accept a direct grant from the Secretary of the Interior under section 302904 of title 54 to maintain, repair, and preserve the historic buildings and grounds at the Washington home (four buildings on six acres listed on the National Register). Congress found the Home’s Trust Fund, mostly from pay deductions, is not enough to both run the Home and care for these historic buildings, and other funding is available. Any grant money must be put into the Armed Forces Retirement Home Trust Fund, kept separate from other funds, and used only for those historic buildings and grounds.
