|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
The purpose of this subchapter is to demonstrate the effectiveness of authorizing local governments and municipalities, in coordination with the public housing agencies for such jurisdictions—
|
||
|
||
(1) to receive and combine program allocations of covered housing assistance; and
|
||
|
||
(2) to design creative approaches for providing and administering Federal housing assistance based on the particular needs of the jurisdictions that—
|
||
|
||
(A) provide incentives to low-income families with children whose head of the household is employed, seeking employment, or preparing for employment by participating in a job training or educational program, or any program that otherwise assists individuals in obtaining employment and attaining economic self-sufficiency;
|
||
|
||
(B) reduce costs of Federal housing assistance and achieve greater cost-effectiveness in Federal housing assistance expenditures;
|
||
|
||
(C) increase the stock of affordable housing and housing choices for low-income families;
|
||
|
||
(D) increase homeownership among low-income families;
|
||
|
||
(E) reduce geographic concentration of assisted families;
|
||
|
||
(F) reduce homelessness through providing permanent housing solutions;
|
||
|
||
(G) improve program management; and
|
||
|
||
(H) achieve such other purposes with respect to low-income families, as determined by the participating local governments and municipalities in coordination with the public housing agencies; 11 So in original. The semicolon probably should be a period.
