| health of its communities, the State must have a comprehensive |
2 |
| and unified policy for the allocation of resources for |

| now necessary to codify provisions of Executive Order 2003-18 |
10 |
| in order to accomplish the following: |
11 |
| (1) address the need to make available quality housing |
12 |
| at a variety of price points in communities throughout the |
13 |
| State; |
14 |
| (2) overcome the shortage of affordable housing, which |
15 |
| threatens the viability of many communities; |
16 |
| (3) meet the need for safe, sanitary, and accessible |
17 |
| affordable housing and supportive services for people with |
18 |
| disabilities; |
19 |
| (4) promote a full range of quality housing choices |
20 |
| near jobs, transit, and other amenities; |
21 |
| (5) meet the needs of constituencies that have been |
22 |
| historically underserved and segregated due to barriers |
23 |
| and trends in the existing housing market or insufficient |
24 |
| resources; |
25 |
| (6) facilitate the preservation of ownership of |
26 |
| existing homes and rental housing in communities; |
27 |
| (7) create new housing opportunities and, where |
28 |
| appropriate, promote mixed-income communities; and |
29 |
| (8) encourage development of State incentives for |
30 |
| communities to create a mix of housing to meet the needs of |
31 |
| current and future residents.
