# 42 U.S.C. § 12702 - Objective of national housing policy
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
The objective of national housing policy shall be to reaffirm the long-established national commitment to decent, safe, and sanitary housing for every American by strengthening a nationwide partnership of public and private institutions able—
|
||
|
||
(1) to ensure that every resident of the United States has access to decent shelter or assistance in avoiding homelessness;
|
||
|
||
(2) to increase the Nation’s supply of decent housing that is affordable to low-income and moderate-income families and accessible to job opportunities;
|
||
|
||
(3) to improve housing opportunities for all residents of the United States, particularly members of disadvantaged minorities, on a nondiscriminatory basis;
|
||
|
||
(4) to help make neighborhoods safe and livable;
|
||
|
||
(5) to expand opportunities for homeownership;
|
||
|
||
(6) to provide every American community with a reliable, readily available supply of mortgage finance at the lowest possible interest rates; and
|
||
|
||
(7) to encourage tenant empowerment and reduce generational poverty in federally assisted and public housing by improving the means by which self-sufficiency may be achieved.
