§ 51648 Affordable Housing Insurance Distribution

Key Takeaways

  • •The agency must make sure the insurance fund stays financially healthy.
  • •Insurance should be spread fairly across different areas, based on where people live.
  • •The agency should focus on helping people who:
  • • - Earn average or below-average money for their area.
  • • - Need big mortgages (almost the full price of the home).
  • • - Are part of local housing help programs.
