U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 1701t. Congressional affirmation of national goal of decent homes and suitable living environment for American families
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.
