SHORT 
TITLE 
SECTION 1. This Act may be cited as the "Emergency Home Purchase 
Assistance Act of 1974". 
FINDINGS 
SEC. 2. The Congress finds and declares that— 
(1) in many parts of the Nation, residential mortgage credit is 
or is likely soon to become prohibitively expensive or unavailable 
at any price; 
(2) the unavailability of mortgage credit severely restricts 
housing production, causes hardship for those who wish to pur-
chase or sell new and existing housing, and delays the achieve-
ment of the national goal of a decent home for every American 
family; and 
^3) there is an urgent need to provide an alternate source of 
residential mortgage credit on an emergency basis.
