affordable and community-based housing and supportive |
services for elderly persons and people with disabilities |
and other populations with special needs; |

historically underserved and segregated due to barriers |
and trends in the existing housing market or insufficient |
resources; |
(6) facilitate the preservation of ownership of |
existing homes and rental housing in communities; |
(7) create new housing opportunities and, where |
appropriate, promote mixed-income communities; and |
(7.5) maximize federal funding opportunities for |
affordable housing or the services people need to maintain |
their housing with required State funding, such as, without |
limitation, for federal Continuum of Care networks and HOME |
