12-5220.Legislative findings; declaration of necessity.
It is hereby found and declared that there exists within the state of Kansas
a serious shortage of decent, safe and sanitary housing which persons and
families of low and moderate income can afford. It is hereby further declared that:
(a) Such shortage is injurious to the safety, health and welfare of the
citizens and residents of this state;
(b) the cost of financing such additional housing is a major and substantial
factor affecting the supply and availability of decent, safe and sanitary
housing within the financial means of persons and families of low and moderate income;
(c) the shortage of such housing is not transitory and self-curing and
the resources of private enterprise are not adequate to provide necessary
additional decent, safe and sanitary housing which will be within the financial
resources of persons and families of low and moderate income;
(d) the construction of additional residential housing is closely correlated
with general economic activity and the availability of residential housing
which persons of low and moderate income can afford will assist materially in promoting
and maintaining full employment and promoting the economic development of
the state of Kansas and of cities and counties within the state;
(e) it is necessary and in the best interests of the state and of the
cities and counties in the state: (1) To provide for and promote the public
health, safety and welfare; (2) to encourage the expansion of industrial
and commercial activities and the economic development of the state's cities
and counties; and (3) to assist persons and families of low and moderate income
in acquiring, owning and occupying decent, safe and sanitary housing which
they can afford;
(f) an adequate supply of decent, safe and sanitary residential housing
is essential to the promotion of increased productivity of the residents
of the cities and counties of the state, for retaining existing industry
and commercial activities near or within the cities and counties in the
state, and for attracting additional industry and commercial activities
to the cities and counties in the state, thereby enhancing the economic
development of the state;
(g) in order to remedy the existing shortage of residential housing within
the financial means of persons and families of low and moderate income and
to realize the social, economic and other benefits which will result therefrom,
it is necessary and desirable to provide for the implementation of public
programs designed to provide alternative means
of financing the acquisition, rehabilitation, improvement and purchase of
safe, decent and sanitary housing by persons
and families of low and moderate income;
(h) it is necessary and desirable that the state's cities and counties
be authorized to issue revenue bonds to provide funds necessary, in whole
or in part, to reduce the costs of financing the acquisition, rehabilitation,
improvement and purchase of safe, decent and sanitary housing by persons
and families of low and moderate income;
(i) the implementation of such programs and the issuance of revenue bonds
pursuant to this act are in the public interest and constitute essential
governmental functions of cities and counties of the state.
