The Department of Housing and Urban Development is the principal Federal agency responsible for programs concerned with the Nation's housing needs, fair housing opportunities, and improvement and development of the Nation's communities.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) was established in
1965 by the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act (42 U.S.C.
3532-3537). It was created to:
--administer the principal programs that provide assistance for housing and for the development of the Nation's communities;
--encourage the solution of housing and community development problems through States and localities; and
--encourage the maximum contributions that may be made by vigorous private homebuilding and mortgage lending industries, both primary and secondary, to housing, community development, and the national economy.
Although HUD administers many programs, its major functions may be grouped into six categories:
--insuring mortgages for single-family and multi-family dwellings, and extending loans for home improvement and for purchasing mobile homes;
--channeling funds from investors into the mortgage industry through the Government National Mortgage Association;
--making direct loans for construction or rehabilitation of housing projects for the elderly and the handicapped;
--providing Federal housing subsidies for low- and moderate-income families;
--providing grants to States and communities for community development activities; and
--promoting and enforcing fair housing and equal housing opportunity.
