Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968(42 U.S.C. 3601) states, in section 801, that ‘‘Itis the policy of the United States to provide,within constitutional limitations, for fairhousing throughout the United States.’’ Sec-tion 808(a) places the authority and respon-sibility for administering the Act in the Sec-retary of Housing and Urban Development.Section 808(d) requires all executive depart-ments and agencies to administer their pro-grams and activities relating to housing andurban development in a manner affirma-tively to further the purposes of title VIII(fair housing) and to cooperate with the Sec-retary to further such purposes. Section808(e)(5) provides that the Secretary of HUDshall administer the programs and activitiesrelating to housing and urban developmentin a manner affirmatively to further thepolicies of title VIII.

‘‘* * * the realization as soon as feasible ofthe goal of a decent home and a suitable liv-ing environment for every American family* * *.’’ This goal was reaffirmed in the Hous-ing and Urban Development Act of 1968 (sec-tions 2 and 1601; 12 U.S.C. 1701t and 42 U.S.C.1441a).
