Status: in_force

198A.020 Policy and purpose.

(1) The General Assembly hereby finds and declares that as a result of the spread of

slum conditions and blight to formerly sound urban and rural neighborhoods and as

a result of actions involving highways, public facilities and urban renewal activities

there exists in the Commonwealth a serious shortage of decent, safe and sanitary

residential housing available at prices or rentals which can be afforded by persons

and families of lower and moderate income. This shortage is severe in certain urban

areas of the state, is especially critical in the rural areas, and is inimical to the

health, safety, welfare and prosperity of all residents of the Commonwealth and to

the sound growth of Kentucky communities.

(2) The General Assembly hereby finds and declares further that private enterprise and

investment have not been able to produce, without assistance, the needed

construction of decent, safe and sanitary residential housing at low prices or rentals

which persons and families of lower and moderate income can afford, or to achieve

the urgently needed rehabilitation of much of the present supply of residential

housing available for persons and families of lower and moderate income. It is

imperative that the supply of residential housing for persons and families of lower

and moderate income affected by the spread of slum conditions and blight and for

persons and families of lower and moderate income displaced by public actions or

natural disaster be increased; and that private enterprise and investment be

encouraged to sponsor, build and rehabilitate residential housing for such persons

and families, to help prevent the recurrence of slum conditions and blight and assist

in their permanent elimination throughout the Commonwealth.

(3) The General Assembly hereby finds and declares further that the purposes of this

chapter are to provide financing for development costs, land development and

residential housing construction, new or rehabilitated, for sale or rental to persons

and families of lower and moderate income.

(4) The General Assembly hereby finds and declares further that in accomplishing this

purpose, the Kentucky Housing Corporation shall be and constitute a de jure

municipal corporation and political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Kentucky

created for the performance of essential public functions and the serving of public

purposes in improving and promoting the health, welfare and prosperity of the

people of the Commonwealth of Kentucky by the production of residential housing.

development of water resources of the state, and to act as the official representative

of the state in any representations, recommendations, or requests to Congress or the

General Assembly concerning such projects or the priority which should be

accorded them with relation to the statewide program;

(3) Make a continuous water resources study of data from other existing state or federal

agencies and such other sources as may be available. From such studies, the cabinet

shall formulate conclusions and recommendations for use by the Commonwealth in

assuring the maximum beneficial use of the water resources of the Commonwealth;

(4) Cooperate with any local, state, or federal agency, or the agencies of any other state

engaged or proposing to engage in any work which will affect or be affected by the

functions of the cabinet and may lend to or receive from any such agency such

financial assistance as may be necessary within the limits of authorized

expenditure;

(5) Have, for flood control and water resources development purposes, jurisdiction over

all streams within or bordering upon the state. The cabinet shall have the authority

to establish and enforce floodways along such streams;

(6) Have authority to accept and use cooperative agreements, grants, and other
