The 1976 National Housing Act

The 1976 National Housing Act was a key U.S. law that aimed to improve access to housing by creating policies to support affordable homeownership and rental housing. It strengthened government programs to assist low- and moderate-income families, promote fair housing practices, and encourage community development. The Act also established funding mechanisms and regulations to ensure housing stability, address discrimination, and support urban renewal efforts, with the goal of fostering healthier, more equitable communities nationwide.
