Housing and Infrastructure

Overview

Use a clean HTML structure with short paragraphs, clear section headers, and no title element. Keep the article within 100–300 words and output HTML only.

Convert any parenthetical references into linked text placed naturally in the sentence. For example, instead of leaving a raw link in parentheses, write the phrase as linked text such as Hold Mail service or P.O. Box.

Follow general web best practices by using semantic elements like paragraphs and section headers, with bold used only for headers. Avoid extra symbols, code fences, or decorative markup. Ensure tags are properly nested and the document remains valid HTML.

Do not include non-govfacts.org links in the final article. Remove any unnecessary marks at the beginning or end of the draft, including quotation marks, backticks, or triple apostrophes.
