We disagree with Defendants’ reading of § 1437f(t). First,
if Congress’s intent in amending the statute in 2000 had been
merely to provide that the Secretary was obligated to supply
families with enhanced vouchers while they remained in their
existing units, the amendment making explicit the tenant’s
right to remain would have been unnecessary. Second, there
           PARK VILLAGE v. MORTIMER HOWARD TRUST            2917
is a separate statutory provision that already required the Sec-
retary to provide enhanced vouchers to eligible families. See
42 U.S.C. § 1437f note, MAHRAA § 524(d).
