                       TITLE 12--BANKS AND BANKING
 
                      CHAPTER 13--NATIONAL HOUSING
 
Sec. 1701v. Congressional findings and declaration for improved 
        architectural design in Government housing programs
        
    The Congress finds that Federal aids to housing have not contributed 
fully to improvement in architectural standards. This objective has been 
contemplated in Federal housing legislation since the establishment of 
mortgage insurance through the Federal Housing Administration.
    The Congress commends the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development for its recent efforts to improve architectural standards 
through competitive design awards and in other ways but at the same time 
recognizes that this important objective requires high priority if 
Federal aid is to make its full communitywide contribution toward 
improving our urban environment.
    The Congress further finds that even within the necessary budget 
limitations on housing for low and moderate income families 
architectural design could be improved not only to make the housing more 
attractive, but to make it better suited to the needs of occupants.
    The Congress declares that in the administration of housing programs 
which assist in the provision of housing for low and moderate income 
families, emphasis should be given to encouraging good design as an 
essential component of such housing and to developing housing which will 
be of such quality as to reflect its important relationship to the 
architectural standards of the neighborhood and community in which it is 
situated, consistent with prudent budgeting.

(Pub. L. 90-448, Sec. 4, Aug. 1, 1968, 82 Stat. 477.)
