USE OF STATE PROPERTY FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING

(Generally)

�� 458.405 Legislative findings. The Legislative Assembly finds that:

�� (1) Safe, affordable and readily available housing options for low-income individuals and families do not match the increasing need for such housing in this state.

�� (4) A method to dispose of or transfer such property and have it utilized for a public purpose is in the interests of the people of this state.

�� (5) It will further the public interest to put unused state-owned real property at the disposal of nonprofit housing providers and housing authorities to address the housing needs of low-income individuals and families in this state. [1989 c.440 �1]
