The Corporation shall promote affordable housing and fulfill its statutory purposes through interactions with responsible parties only. In doing so, it must promote and encourage the highest level of integrity and service in the public interest. Debarment and suspension are discretionary actions that, taken in accordance with this Part, are appropriate means to effectuate this policy. The serious nature of debarment and suspension requires that these sanctions shall be imposed in protection of the interests of the Corporation and the public and not for the purposes of punishment.
