HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE
SECTION 50690-50691.1 



50690.  The Legislature finds and declares that the attainment of
the national and state goal of providing every American family with a
decent home and a suitable living environment is complicated by a
lack of information and technical assistance regarding housing
planning, design, rehabilitation, construction, and financing;
alternative housing options for owners and renters; building codes
and standards and housing codes; site acquisition and development;
and building materials and methods and their costs and availability.
   The Legislature further finds and declares that the attainment of
the national and state housing goal can be achieved, in part, through
the fullest practicable utilization of the resources and
capabilities of private enterprise and of individual and group
self-help techniques. A significant number of persons and families of
low or moderate income are capable of building or rehabilitating
their own homes, in whole or in part, with considerable savings to
themselves and benefits to the public.


50691.  The purposes of this chapter are the following:
   (1) To encourage and foster the utilization of the resources and
capabilities of private enterprise and of individual and group
self-help techniques in the rehabilitation and replacement of
deteriorated and dilapidated housing and in the construction of
additional housing in both urban and rural areas.
   (2) To stimulate housing rehabilitation and construction so as to
increase the supply of decent, affordable housing.
   (3) To demonstrate that improved housing conditions, ownership,
and maintenance are within the financial capabilities of persons and
families of low or moderate income through the reduced costs of
owner-building, owner-rehabilitation and other self-help-oriented
alternatives.
   Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as preventing
participation of renters in such housing alternatives.



50691.1.  The Legislature finds and declares that self-help housing
generates self-reliance and a sense of community for participants,
and that it is an important and proven source of housing for many
low- and moderate-income California residents.
   The Legislature further finds and declares that the California
Self-Help Housing Program has been very successful in its goal of
stimulating the production and rehabilitation of housing with the use
of several self-help housing techniques, and that the program should
be expanded to assist more low- and moderate-income residents
throughout this state.
   In addition to the purposes specified in Section 50691, the
purposes of this chapter include all of the following:
   (1) Expansion of the production of decent and affordable housing
for low- and moderate-income people through the use of self-help
methods of rehabilitation and construction.
   (2) Expansion of homeownership opportunities for those to whom it
would otherwise not be available without the cost savings achieved by
the self-help method.
   (3) Encouragement of self-reliance, pride of ownership, and sense
of community for those who participate.
