Summary

The Secretary cannot cancel certain rules for any participating area. Those protected rules cover who can get help (limits to low-income families), rules about income checks and how aid is targeted, how much public housing families pay in rent, limits on rent for families using tenant-based help, and rules about demolishing or selling public housing. A participating area must use the money it gets under this program the way its plan says, as long as the Secretary approved that plan.
