## Sec. 2 declaration of policy **[**[12 U.S.C. 1701t](/us/usc/t12/s1701t)**]** The Congress affirms the national goal, as set forth in section 2 of the Housing Act of 1949, 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. * * * * * * *
