Part 1: United States summary
Part 2: Alabama-New York
Part 3: North Carolina-Wyoming; including Supplement A, Mortgages on homes built in 1935-40; and Supplement B, Mortgages on homes occupied by nonwhite owners.
The tables for each State are arranged in two sections with statistics for the State, and for large cities and metropolitan districts. The statistics presented relate to mortgages on owner-occupied nonfarm properties in structures without business and containing not more than four dwelling units. The subjects covered include, for first mortgages, amount of outstanding indebtedness, type of payment, frequency and amount of payment, interest rate, and holder of mortgage; and for all mortgaged properties, value of property, estimated rental value, year built, and color of occupants.
The number of properties with junior mortgages and the outstanding indebtedness on first and junior mortgages are also shown. The detailed tables for large areas give separate figures by type of lending agency, type of payment, and (for 1-family properties) by value of property."

DOH seeks to eliminate homelessness and to catalyze the creation and preservation of quality, affordable housing to meet the needs of all individuals and families statewide to ensure that Connecticut continues to be a great place to live and work.

DOH works in concert with municipal leaders, public agencies, community groups, local housing authorities, and other housing developers in the planning and development of affordable homeownership and rental housing units, the preservation of existing multi-family housing developments, community revitalization and financial and other support for our most vulnerable residents through our funding and technical support programs. As the State's lead agency for all matters relating to housing, DOH provides leadership for all aspects of policy and planning relating to the development, redevelopment, preservation, maintenance and improvement of housing serving very low, low, and moderate income individuals and families. DOH is also responsible for overseeing compliance with applicable statutes, regulations and financial assistance agreements for funded activities through long-term program compliance monitoring."
