Findings and purposes (a) Findings The Congress finds that— (1) public housing is a critical public asset that has served an important role on the continuum of affordable housing since the 1930s, and is integral to our Nation’s social safety net, providing housing for 1.2 million families; (2) the public housing program serves a population of hard-to-house people who face challenges that often make it impossible for them to obtain adequate and affordable housing in the private market; (3) public housing has been plagued by chronic underfunding, resulting in a backlog of capital needs of over $26 billion, a large amount of severely distressed public housing concentrated in neighborhoods of extreme poverty, and resident families facing deteriorating living conditions; (4) as a result of this disinvestment, the program has lost thousands of units due to demolition and disposition as well as due to previous revitalization programs’ failure to require one-for-one replacement, and many more units are at risk of being lost
