California Code, Health and Safety Code - HSC § 52004

The Legislature finds and declares that the present shortage of decent, safe, and sanitary housing available to potential purchasers in the lower end of the buying spectrum is particularly inimical to the health of the housing economy and, with few exceptions, beyond the capability of private enterprise acting alone to cure, and a public purpose is served by public-private efforts to reduce cost of financing single-family homes for this class of purchasers.
