To authorize the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to prioritize the award of certain housing grants to applicants located in, or serving, low-income communities.

This bill would allow the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to give extra weight to certain grant applicants. It covers competitive HUD grants for building, modifying, rehabilitating, or preserving housing, as the Secretary determines. Applicants whose projects are located in, or substantially and directly benefit, a federally designated qualified opportunity zone could receive this added weight. The bill permits this priority but does not require it.
