Section 24-1A-1 Legislative findings and declaration of purpose of chapter. (a) It is hereby
found and declared that from time to time there has existed and at the present time there
exists an inadequate supply of funds at interest rates sufficiently low to enable the financing
of safe and sanitary multi-family dwelling units for citizens of this state and single family

Section 11-96A-1 Legislative declarations. It is hereby declared that a lack of sanitary, safe,
and affordable dwelling accommodations for persons of moderate and low income and shelters,
halfway houses and emergency housing for persons who would otherwise be homeless exists in

income are forced to reside in and use unsafe and unsanitary dwellings and certain other persons
are unable to afford any dwelling accommodations at all. These conditions which cause an increase
in and spread of disease and crime constitute a menace to the health, safety, morals, and
welfare of the citizens of the state. It is a matter of public interest to provide safe and
sanitary housing for the low and moderate income citizens and shelter for homeless persons,
to alleviate such conditions and to encourage economic development, to increase employment
in housing construction and related businesses and to create and...
