# §3931. Congressional statement of purpose


The Congress finds that the volume of [housing](/usc/42/1490p–2.md?p=r-3) being produced for [families](/usc/42/12704.md?p=11) and individuals of low or moderate [income](/usc/42/292s.md?p=c-4) must be increased to meet the national goal of a decent home and a suitable living environment for every American [family](/usc/42/290ff–4.md?p=d-2), and declares that it is the policy of the [United States](/usc/42/403.md?p=k) to encourage the widest possible participation by private enterprise in the provision of [housing](/usc/42/1490p–2.md?p=r-3) for low or moderate [income](/usc/42/292s.md?p=c-4) [families](/usc/42/12704.md?p=11). The Congress has therefore determined that one or more private organizations should be created to encourage maximum participation by private investors in [programs](/usc/42/274l–1.md?p=4) and [projects](/usc/42/11360.md?p=20) to provide low and moderate [income](/usc/42/292s.md?p=c-4) [housing](/usc/42/1490p–2.md?p=r-3).
