Watch this very short video about the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965. What were some of the ways that this act helped U.S. citizens? (At least 3)
1. The act provided funding for the construction of affordable housing for low-income families, helping to address the housing shortage in urban areas.
2. It established the Community Development Block Grant program, which gave local governments more flexibility in determining how to use federal funds to address community development needs.
3. The act also included provisions for urban renewal projects, which aimed to renovate and revitalize deteriorating urban areas.
