AI Summary

This bill establishes the Low-Income First-Time Homebuyers Act of 2021 (also known as the LIFT Homebuyers Act of 2021) to provide low- and moderate-income first-time, first-generation homebuyers with access to affordable and sustainable wealth-building home loans. The bill creates a program within the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to make "covered mortgage loans" available to eligible homebuyers to purchase single-family homes as their principal residence. The key provisions include the creation of "LIFT HOME Funds" managed by each department, specific pricing and eligibility criteria for the covered mortgage loans, and coordination between the departments and the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae) to develop liquidity for the mortgage-backed securities.
