    income housing to participate in public-private partnerships to 
    achieve the purposes of this subchapter;
        (4) improve the ability of States and units of general local 
    government, community housing development organizations, private 
    lenders, and for-profit developers of low-income housing to 
    incorporate energy efficiency into the planning, design, financing, 
    construction, and operation of affordable housing;
        (5) facilitate the establishment and efficient operation of 
    employer-assisted housing programs through research, technical 
    assistance and demonstration projects; and
        (6) facilitate the establishment and efficient operation of land 
    bank programs, under which title to vacant and abandoned parcels of 
    real estate located in or causing blighted neighborhoods is cleared 
    for use consistent with the purposes of this subchapter.
