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.
