The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(c) As of January 1, 2006, there were 21 city and nine county housing trusts throughout California producing thousands of units of affordable housing, through the utilization of millions of dollars of locally generated funds, resulting in the leverage of millions more for the development of affordable housing.

(d) Housing trusts are local sources of revenue for affordable housing and very often are a direct result of local constituencies coming together around affordable housing. These relationships are often long term and include a broad set of community players that go beyond the traditional supporter of affordable housing.

(e) These projects will further generate thousands of full-time jobs during construction and thousands of additional, permanent jobs once the projects are constructed and operating.

(f) These projects also present an unprecedented opportunity to implement nation-leading innovative measures that will significantly reduce traffic, air quality, and other significant environmental impacts, and fully mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from passenger vehicle trips attributed to the projects.

(g) These pollution reductions will be the best in the nation compared to other comparable projects in the United States.

(h) The purpose of this chapter is to provide, for a limited time, unique and unprecedented streamlining benefits under the California Environmental Quality Act for projects that provide the benefits described above to put people to work as soon as possible.
