Report Acceptance Date: October 1968 (101 pages)

Posted Date: October 22, 2024



This historical publication established the policy and procedural framework for the Section 236 program of rental housing for lower-income families, a cornerstone of the effort embodied in the 1968 Act to help the millions of families now occupying inadequate housing to improve their environment. Section 236 of the new Act encouraged maximum participation by private enterprise to provide good rental and cooperative housing for lower-income families. This program was intended to enable many lower-income families, including the elderly and the disabled, to live in decent housing that is not currently within their means.
