§ 1001. Legislative findings and statement of policy. The legislature\nhereby finds and declares that there exist in certain rural areas of the\nstate significant unmet housing needs of persons and families of low or\nmoderate income, numerous housing units which are deteriorating or in\nneed of rehabilitation or improvement, and related factors demonstrating\na need for increased attention to housing preservation and community\nrevitalization in such areas. Meeting the housing and community renewal\nneeds of rural areas entails special problems arising from the dispersal\nof population over wide areas, the existence of substandard areas in the\nform of small, often isolated, pockets of poverty rather than massive\nconcentrations, the extremely limited resources of the small units of\nlocal government involved, and other characteristics of these areas.\n Locally based not-for-profit organizations can play a crucial role in\nhousing preservation and community revitalization. The public policy of\nsupport for such organizations embodied in article sixteen of this\nchapter, and the legislative findings set forth in such article, are\nhereby reaffirmed. The legislature further finds and determines that the\nneeds of rural areas and of existing and potential not-for-profit\norganizations serving such areas will be best met by a program of\nsupport for such organizations and their activities similar to that in\narticle sixteen of this chapter but recognizing the distinctive\ncharacteristics of such areas. It is the purpose of this article to\nestablish such a program within the division of housing and community\nrenewal.\n It is further declared to be the public policy of the state that all\nprograms of housing and community assistance administered by the\ndivision of housing and community renewal or other agencies should be\ncarried out with due regard for the special conditions in and needs of\nthe rural areas of the state.\n
