federal housing policies

Federal housing policies are guidelines and regulations set by the government to support affordable housing, promote homeownership, and ensure fair access to housing for all citizens. Key policies include the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which provides insurance for loans, making it easier for people to buy homes. The government also enforces fair housing laws to prevent discrimination based on race, religion, or disability. Additionally, programs like Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) help low-income families afford rent in the private market, aiming to improve living conditions and community stability.
