             3126           [9-4-902].     35A-8-702. Policy -- Finding and declaration.
             3127          (1) [It is declared] The Legislature declares that the policy of the state [of Utah] is to


             3128      assure the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens, that an adequate supply of decent, safe, and
             3129      sanitary housing is essential to the well-being of the citizens of the state, and that an adequate
             3130      supply of mortgage funds for housing at reasonable interest rates is in the public interest.
             3131          (2) [It is found and declared] The Legislature finds and declares that:
             3132          (a) there continues to exist throughout the state a seriously inadequate supply of safe
             3133      and sanitary dwelling accommodations within the financial means of persons and families of
             3134      low or moderate income who wish to purchase or rent residential housing; [and]
             3135          (b) from time to time the high rates of interest charged by mortgage lenders seriously
             3136      restrict the transfer of existing housing and new housing starts[.];
             3137          [(3)] (c) [It is found and declared that] the reduction in residential construction starts
             3138      associated with the high rates causes a condition of substantial unemployment and
             3139      underemployment in the construction industry which impedes the economy of the state and
             3140      affects the welfare and prosperity of all the people of the state[.];
             3141          [(4) It is found and declared that:]
             3142          [(a)] (d) these conditions associated with the recurrent shortages of residential
             3143      mortgage funds contribute to slums and blight in the cities and rural areas of the state and
             3144      ultimately to the deterioration of the quality of living conditions within the state; [and]
             3145          [(b)] (e) in accordance with the purpose of this part to assist in providing housing for
             3146      low and moderate income persons who otherwise could not achieve decent, safe, and sanitary
             3147      housing, the agency shall make every effort to make housing available in rural, inner city, and
             3148      other areas experiencing difficulty in securing construction and mortgage loans, and to make
             3149      decent, safe, and sanitary housing available to low income persons and families[.];
             3150          [(5)] (f) [It is found and declared that] in order to assure an adequate fund of private
             3151      capital into this housing, the cooperation between private enterprise and state government is
             3152      essential and is in the public interest[.];
             3153          [(6)] (g) [It is found and declared that] low and moderate income persons in Utah have
             3154      a wide range of housing needs, which necessitates the development of many different kinds of
             3155      programs to address those needs, including programs providing mortgage loans, nontraditional
             3156      loans, grants, and other forms of financial assistance, and combinations of these forms[.];
             3157          [(7)] (h) [It is found and declared that] there are private organizations and
             3158      governmental entities throughout Utah that are endeavoring to improve the availability of


             3159      housing for low and moderate income, but many of these organizations and entities lack
             3160      expertise and financial resources to act efficiently and expeditiously in these efforts[.];
             3161          [(8)] (i) [It is found and declared that] innovative programs that bring together
             3162      resources from the public, nonprofit, and private sector are necessary in order to increase the
             3163      supply of housing for low and moderate individuals, but these programs usually need advice
             3164      and financial assistance to become established[.];
             3165          [(9)] (j) [It is declared that] all of the foregoing are public purposes and uses for which
             3166      money may be borrowed, expended, advanced, loaned, or granted, and that these activities
             3167      serve a public purpose in improving or otherwise benefiting the people of this state, and that
             3168      the necessity of enacting the provisions in this part is in the public interest and is so declared as
             3169      a matter of express legislative determination[.]; and
             3170          [(10)] (k) [It is found and declared that] the compelling need within the state for the
             3171      creation of an adequate supply of mortgage funds at reasonable interest rates and for other
             3172      kinds of financial assistance to help provide affordable housing for low and moderate income
             3173      individuals can be best met by the establishment of an independent body corporate and politic,
             3174      constituting a public corporation, vested with the powers and duties specified in this part.
             3175          [(11)] (3) [It is declared] The Legislature declares that the corporation is intended to

             4073      general welfare of its citizens it is necessary to remedy the unsafe and unsanitary housing
             4074      conditions and the acute shortage of decent, safe, and sanitary dwellings for families of
             4075      medium and low income, in urban and rural areas. [These]
             4076          (b) The conditions H. [ discussed ] described .H in Subsection (1)(a) cause an increase
             4076a      and spread of
             4077      disease and crime, and constitute a menace to the health, safety, morals, and welfare of the
             4078      state.
             4079          (2) [It] The Legislature declares that it is the policy of the state:
             4080          (a) to make adequate provision of affordable housing for:

             4090          (ii) during limited periods, for disaster victims; and
             4091          (b) that the provision of safe and sanitary dwelling accommodations at rents or prices
             4092      that persons of medium and low income can afford will materially assist in developing more
             4093      desirable neighborhoods and alleviating the effects of poverty in this state.
             4094          (3) The purposes of this part and Part [6] 4, Housing Authorities, are to meet these

             4098      make available low-cost housing in all areas of the state.
             4099          (4) It is in the public interest to use the broad financial resources and technical services
             4100      available to government in cooperation with the ingenuity and expertise of private enterprise to
             4101      alleviate this lack of safe and sanitary dwellings while stimulating local industry, according to
             4102      the following principles:
             4103          (a) The private sector, including nonprofit entities, shall be the primary source of
             4104      developing and providing affordable housing with state and local incentives to encourage
             4105      housing development.
             4106          (b) State money used in the development of housing shall:
             4107          (i) be heavily leveraged when possible;
             4108          (ii) be primarily invested as loans;
             4109          (iii) be primarily spent on housing production; and
