Congress affirms the national goal of a decent home and suitable living environment for every American family. It gives the highest priority to helping lower-income families for whom that goal has not become reality and calls for practical use of private resources and individual self-help.
Congress affirms the national goal stated in 42 U.S.C. § 1441: “a decent home and a suitable living environment for every American family.” Congress finds that many lower-income families still do not have this, that this is a serious national concern, and that the public and private sectors have the resources and ability needed to achieve the goal.
Congress declares that, when the housing programs authorized by this Act and other government programs help families whose incomes are so low that they otherwise could not house themselves decently, the highest priority should go to families for whom the national goal has not become reality. These programs should use private enterprise and individual self-help as fully as reasonably possible.
The Congress affirms the national goal, as set forth in section 1441 of title 42, of “a decent home and a suitable living environment for every American family”.
The Congress finds that this goal has not been fully realized for many of the Nation’s lower income families; that this is a matter of grave national concern; and that there exist in the public and private sectors of the economy the resources and capabilities necessary to the full realization of this goal.
The Congress declares that in the administration of those housing programs authorized by this Act which are designed to assist families with incomes so low that they could not otherwise decently house themselves, and of other Government programs designed to assist in the provision of housing for such families, the highest priority and emphasis should be given to meeting the housing needs of those families for which the national goal has not become a reality; and in the carrying out of such programs there should be the fullest practicable utilization of the resources and capabilities of private enterprise and of individual self-help techniques.
