federal national mortgage association special assistance for financing low-cost homes

federal national mortgage association special assistance for financing low-cost homes Sec. 1006. The Congress hereby finds that the sharp decline in new home construction over the past year threatens to undercut our present high level of prosperity and employment as such declines have in the past; that the substantial reduction which has taken place has had its greatest impact on families of modest income who are seeking to achieve the goal of homeownership; that this decline in homebuilding is due primarily to the shortage of mortgage financing on terms which moderate income families can afford; and that our national policy objectives in the field of housing and community development are thereby being thwarted. The Congress therefore expresses its intent that the special assistance funds made available to the Federal National Mortgage Association for the financing of new low-cost homes by the Act of September 10, 1966 (Public Law 89–556), should be released immediately to halt the continuing decline in the construction of new homes for families of moderate income.
