((3)) to improve housing opportunities for all residents of the United States, particularly members of disadvantaged minorities, on a nondiscriminatory basis;
((4)) to help make neighborhoods safe and livable;
((5)) to expand opportunities for homeownership;
((6)) to provide every American community with a reliable, readily available supply of mortgage finance at the lowest possible interest rates; and
