No governing body of a municipality shall adopt a resolution as provided in Sections 24-1-103 or 24-1-111 declaring that there is a need for a housing authority, other than a housing authority established by such municipality, to exercise its powers within such municipality, unless a public hearing has first been held by such governing body and unless such governing body shall have found, in substantially the following terms: That unsanitary or unsafe inhabited dwelling accommodations exist in such municipality or that there is a shortage of safe or sanitary dwelling accommodations in such municipality available to persons of low income at rentals they can afford and that these conditions can be best remedied through the exercise of the aforesaid housing authority's powers within the territorial boundaries of such municipality; provided, that such findings shall not have the effect of thereafter preventing such municipality from establishing a housing authority or joining in the creation of a consolidated housing authority or the increase of the area of operation of a consolidated housing authority. The clerk, or the officer with similar duties, of the municipality shall give notice of the public hearing, and such hearing shall be held in the manner provided in Section 24-1-23 for a public hearing by a council to determine the need for a housing authority in the municipality. During the time that, pursuant to these findings, a housing authority has outstanding, or is under contract to issue, any evidences of indebtedness for a project within the municipality, no other housing authority may undertake a project within such municipality without the consent of said housing authority which has such outstanding indebtedness or obligation.

Section 24-1A-1Legislative findings and declaration of purpose of chapter. (a) It is hereby found and declared that from time to time there has existed and at the present time there exists an inadequate supply of funds at interest rates sufficiently low to enable the financing of safe and sanitary multi-family dwelling units for citizens of this state and single family dwelling units for citizens of this state with low and moderate income; that the inability to finance such single and multi-family dwelling units results in an inability of builders to construct such housing causing unemployment or underemployment in the housing construction and related businesses and causes a lack of safe and sanitary housing to be available to the citizens of this state; that such unemployment or underemployment in the housing construction and related businesses and an inadequate supply of safe and sanitary housing wastes human resources, increases the public assistance burden of the state, impairs the security of family life, impedes the economic and physical development of the state, adversely affects the welfare and prosperity of all of the people of the state and accordingly creates and fosters conditions adverse to the general health and welfare of the citizens of the state, that the making available in the manner provided in this chapter of a more adequate supply of funds at interest rates sufficiently low to enable the financing of safe and sanitary multi-family dwelling units for citizens of this state and single family dwelling units for citizens of low and moderate income will result in the alleviation or reduction of the adverse consequences which have resulted and may result from continued unemployment and underemployment in the housing construction and related businesses and the inadequate supply of such housing for such persons. (b) It is hereby further found and determined that the conditions adverse to the general health and welfare of the citizens of the state as noted in subsection (a) of this section can best be solved by a cooperative effort as provided in this chapter between the authority acting on behalf of the state and those engaged in the business of making mortgage loans and such is the purpose of this chapter and it is not the intent of the Legislature that the authority have the power to make direct loans to individuals or to acquire or construct housing units for lease or sale or that the authority have urban development or slum clearance functions, although its functions under this chapter are expected to be complementary to and supportive of those functions.
