California Code, Health and Safety Code - HSC § 34501

Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

It has been found and declared in the Housing Authorities Law  1 that there exist in the State unsafe and insanitary housing conditions and a shortage of safe and sanitary dwelling accommodations for persons of low income; that these conditions necessitate excessive and disproportionate expenditures of public funds for crime prevention and punishment, public health and safety, fire and accident protection, and other public services and facilities; and that the public interest requires the remedying of these conditions. It is found and declared that:

(a) The assistance provided for in this chapter for the remedying of the conditions set forth in the Housing Authorities Law  1 constitutes a public use and purpose and an essential governmental function for which public money may be spent and other aid given.

(b) It is a proper public purpose for any state public body to aid any housing authority operating within its boundaries or jurisdiction or any housing project located therein, as the state public body derives immediate benefits and advantages from such an authority or project.

(c) The provisions of this chapter are necessary in the public interest.
