2021 South Carolina Code of Laws|Title 31 - Housing and Redevelopment|Chapter 23 - South Carolina Community Land Trust|Section 31-23-30. General Assembly findings regarding affordable housing.

 The General Assembly finds:  (1) A shortage of adequate and affordable housing providing permanent domiciles with adequate privacy, space, physical accessibility, security, structural stability and durability, and adequate electrical, plumbing, and heating systems, continues to persist in South Carolina.  (2) The public's health, safety, and economic interests of the State and its citizens are best served by promoting permanently affordable housing in healthy vital neighborhoods.  (3) Affordable housing enables South Carolinians to maintain employment, makes it more likely that our children will succeed in school, and helps our economic growth and prosperity.  (4) New organizational mechanisms can assist in stabilizing property values and preventing neighborhoods and communities from becoming blighted.  (5) Homeownership is a worthy goal for many South Carolina families of low and moderate income and many families require supportive homeownership services in order to obtain and retain their family homes.  (6) The creation and operation of community land trusts will provide a mechanism for privately or publicly funded community organizations to own real estate in order to make the benefits of affordable housing available to those who could not otherwise afford them.
