Our reading (and the Secretary’s reading) of § 1437f(t) is
supported both by the plain language of the statute, and by the
language of the statutory provision that preceded it. A year
before the enactment of the current statutory language, Con-
gress had enacted language that did not explicitly provide a
right to remain. That earlier statutory language had simply
provided that a family was entitled to an enhanced voucher
“during any period that the assisted family continues residing
in the same project.” Pub. L. No. 106-74, § 538, 113 Stat.
1047, 1122 (1999). Congress then amended the statute in
2000 explicitly to provide that “the assisted family may elect
to remain in the same project.” Pub. L. No. 106-246, § 2801,
114 Stat. 511, 569 (2000).
