42 U.S.C. § 1441b: Plan for elimination of all…

Summary

The President must send a report to Congress by January 15, 1969 that gives a ten-year plan (June 30, 1968 to June 30, 1978) to eliminate all substandard housing and meet the national housing goal. The plan must say how many new or fixed-up housing units are needed each fiscal year (whether or not the federal government helps), show how many occupied substandard units must be removed each year, give cost estimates for the federal programs and years that affect the federal budget, recommend needed laws or administrative actions, and include any other useful data the President thinks important. The report must also project the mortgage market for the coming year. That includes how much mortgage money will be needed and available (especially in declining urban and rural areas) and recommendations to help make those funds available.
