                provide affordable housing to individuals and families 
                whose incomes do not exceed 50 percent of median family 
                income for that jurisdiction.

                notify each participating jurisdiction receiving funds 
                for purposes of this paragraph that use of such funds, 
                as required under subparagraph (A), does not exempt or 
                prevent that participating jurisdiction from using any 
                other funds awarded under this subtitle to provide 
                affordable housing to extremely low-income individuals 
                and families.
                    ``(D) Rental housing.--Notwithstanding section 
                215(a), housing that is for rental shall qualify as 
                affordable housing under this paragraph only if such 
                housing is occupied by extremely low-income individuals 
                or families who pay as a contribution toward rent 
                (excluding any Federal or State rental subsidy provided 
                on behalf of the individual or family) not more than 30 
                percent of the monthly adjusted income of such 
                individual or family, as determined by the 
                Secretary.''.

asides specified in such appropriations Act for that fiscal year.''.

SEC. 5. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE CREATION OF A NATIONAL 
              AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Only 1 in 4 eligible households receives Federal rental 
        assistance.
            (2) The number of families facing severe housing cost 
        burdens grew by almost 2,000,0000 households between 2001 and 
        2004.
            (3) 1 in 3 families spend more than 30 percent of their 
        earnings on housing costs.
            (4) More than 75 percent of renter households with severe 
        housing affordability burdens are extremely low-income 
        families.
            (5) More than half of extremely low-income households pay 
        at least half of their income on housing.
            (6) At least 500,000 Americans are homeless every day.
            (7) 2,000,000 to 3,000,0000 Americans are homeless for 
        various lengths of time each year.
            (8) It is estimated that the development of an average 
        housing unit creates on average more than 3 jobs and the 
        development of an average multifamily unit creates on average 
        more than 1 job.
            (9) It is estimated that over $80,000 is produced in 
        government revenue for an average single family unit built and 
        over $30,000 is produced in government revenue for an average 
        multifamily unit built.
            (10) The Bipartisan Millennial Housing Commission stated 
        that ``the most serious housing problem in America is the 
        mismatch between the number of extremely low income renter 
        households and the number of units available to them with 
        acceptable quality and affordable rents.''.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) Congress shall create a national affordable housing 
        trust fund with the purpose of supplying 1,500,000 additional 
        affordable housing units over the next 10 years;
            (2) such a trust fund shall contain sufficient income 
        targeting to reflect the housing affordability burdens faced by 
        extremely low-income and very low-income families; and
            (3) such a trust fund shall contain enough flexibility to 
        allow local communities to produce, preserve, and rehabilitate 
        affordable housing units while ensuring that such affordable 
        housing development fosters the creation of healthy and 
        sustainable communities.
