52:27D-61. Legislative findings
The Legislature finds that there is an extreme shortage of safe and sanitary accommodations in this State available to families with moderate incomes, and that the ordinary operations of private, profit-making enterprises alone cannot satisfy the demand for such dwelling accommodations. The Legislature finds further that there are in this State many slums and blighted areas which are injurious to the health, safety and welfare of the residents of this State, and that existing programs and technology have not as yet developed techniques for the elimination of such slums and blighted areas.
The Legislature hereby finds that various nonprofit corporations and associations and mutual housing associations are desirous of organizing to construct or rehabilitate housing units for families of moderate income, but that those corporations and associations require development funds and technical assistance in the organization and management of nonprofit corporations and mutual housing associations, and that the provision of such development funds and technical assistance to those corporations and associations will maximize the availability of Federal funds and credits which may be used for the construction or rehabilitation of housing units for residents of this State.
Further, the Legislature finds that housing development and demonstration programs conducted by the Department of Community Affairs, whether singly or in participation and co-operation with Federal, State or local agencies or with private enterprise, will accelerate the pace of research into, and the development of, techniques for the provision of better, faster and more economical methods of constructing and rehabilitating housing units for families of moderate income, and of eliminating the slums and blighted sections of the urban and nonfarm rural areas of this State.
The Legislature further finds that the authority and powers conferred under this act constitute and serve a valid public purpose.
