Consolidation of complex and overlapping Federal assistance programs into consistent system of Federal aid
It is also the purpose of this chapter to further the development of a national urban growth policy by consolidating a number of complex and overlapping programs of financial assistance to communities of varying sizes and needs into a consistent system of Federal aid which—
(1)
(1)#
provides assistance on an annual basis, with maximum certainty and minimum delay, upon which communities can rely in their planning;
(2)#
encourages community development activities which are consistent with comprehensive local and areawide development planning;
(3)#
furthers achievement of the national housing goal of a decent home and a suitable living environment for every American family; and
(4)#
fosters the undertaking of housing and community development activities in a coordinated and mutually supportive manner by Federal agencies and programs, as well as by communities.
