AI-written summary
Would authorize $11.25 billion in bonds: $10 billion for affordable housing, homebuyer assistance, infrastructure and related programs, plus $1.25 billion for veterans’ home loans. Veterans’ loan repayments would cover that portion; general revenues would repay the other borrowing.
