More information: Safe and affordable housing remains a critical concern for low- and moderate-income families in the current economy. While the spotlight has been largely on the mortgage crisis and rising foreclosure rates over the last several years, preserving America's aging housing stock is critically important. This competition will fund the most innovative plans that preserve and improve affordable housing units. As capital improvements are made to available housing, the integrity of the neighborhood is stabilized and protected from further deterioration.
