         Although the opt-out provision governs tenants’ rights
before an enhanced voucher is provided and therefore does not
govern this case, given “the fundamental canon of statutory
construction that the words of a statute must be read in their
context and with a view to their place in the overall statutory
scheme,” Util. Air Regulatory Grp. v. EPA, 134 S. Ct. 2427,
2441 (2014) (internal quotation marks omitted), we will walk
through all of the relevant statutory provisions. Our dissenting
colleague sidesteps this basic principle by homing in on the
statute’s “may elect to remain” language in isolation from its
place in the Housing Act’s overall scheme.
