§ 279.425. Declaration of state policy: Adequate supply of decent, safe and sanitary affordable housing necessary to accomplish purposes of Community Redevelopment Law

It is further found and declared that: 1. The provision of housing is a fundamental purpose of the Community Redevelopment

Law and that a generally inadequate supply of decent, safe and sanitary affordable

housing threatens the accomplishment of the primary purposes of the Community Redevelopment

Law, including, without limitation, creating new employment opportunities, attracting

new private investments of money in the area and creating physical, economic, social

and environmental conditions to remove and prevent the recurrence of blight. 2. The provision and improvement of affordable housing which is inside or outside

the boundaries of the redevelopment area can be of direct benefit to the redevelopment

area in assisting the accomplishment of project objectives whether or not the redevelopment

plan provides for affordable housing within the project area. 3. The provision of affordable housing by redevelopment agencies and the use of taxes

allocated to the agency pursuant thereto is of statewide benefit and assistance to

all local governmental agencies in the areas where affordable housing is provided.
