Not later than January 15, 1969, the President shall make a report to the Congress setting forth a plan, to be carried out over a period of ten years (June 30, 1968, to June 30, 1978), for the elimination of all substandard [housing](/usc/42/1490p–2.md?p=r-3) and the realization of the goal referred to in [section 1441a of this title](/usc/42/1441a.md). Such plan shall—

- (2) indicate the reduction in the number of occupied substandard [housing](/usc/42/1490p–2.md?p=r-3) [units](/usc/42/1395w–114b.md?p=g-2) which it is anticipated will have to occur during each fiscal year of the ten-year period in order to achieve the objectives of the plan;
- (3) provide an estimate of the cost of carrying out the plan for each of the various Federal [programs](/usc/42/274l–1.md?p=4) and for each fiscal year during the ten-year period to the extent that such costs will be reflected in the Federal budget;
- (4) make recommendations with respect to the legislative and administrative actions necessary or desirable to achieve the objectives of the plan; and

Such report shall, in addition, contain a projection of the residential mortgage market needs and prospects during the coming year, including an estimate of the requirements with respect to the availability, need, and flow of mortgage [funds](/usc/42/12854.md?p=3) (particularly in declining urban and rural areas) during such year, together with such recommendations as may be deemed appropriate for encouraging the availability of such [funds](/usc/42/12854.md?p=3).
