(e) By December 1 of each fiscal year, the agency shall ascertain
that not less than 25 percent of the total units financed by mortgage

and the Senate Committee on Rules, and shall recommend legislation or
other action as may be required to make (1) at least 25 percent of

thereafter financed so available. In housing developments for which
the agency provides a construction loan but not a mortgage loan, the

be made available for occupancy and actually occupied by lower income
households.
