 It is found and declared that the state's cities, towns and smaller urban communities face critical, social, economic and environmental problems; that the future welfare of the state and well being of its citizens depends upon the establishment and maintenance of viable urban communities as social, economic and political entities; that the Congress of the United States has enacted Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, P.L. 93-383, as from time to time amended, for the primary objective of developing viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income; that the federal government has curtailed or eliminated many categorical grant-in-aid programs such as urban renewal, model cities and open space which have provided financial assistance to many of the municipalities of the state; that this part is needed for the purpose of enabling the cities and towns of this state to initiate and implement programs funded by the federal government under the provisions of Title I of said Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as from time to time amended, to assist the municipalities in carrying out community development programs, to secure public and private rights to ease the transition from previous categorical grant-in-aid programs in the community development field to programs financed under Title I of said Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as from time to time amended, and to secure and complete state and local programs initiated under federally-assisted categorical grant-in-aid programs in the community development field; that the provisions of this part are necessary to protect public and private commitments made under previous categorical grant-in-aid programs; and that the provisions of this part are declared to be in the public interest.(P.A. 75-443, S. 1, 15; P.A. 78-373, S. 1.)History: P.A. 78-373 added phrase “as from time to time amended” to references to “Housing and Community Development Act of 1974”.
