housing, preserving established neighborhoods, and maintaining a
sound tax base.
(2) A large number of county residents have been and
will be subject to hardship in finding decent, safe, and sanitary
housing unless new facilities are constructed and existing
housing, where appropriate, is rehabilitated. Unless the supply
of housing and the ability of low and moderate income persons and
families to obtain mortgage financing is increased significantly
and expeditiously, a large number of residents of Allegany, Anne
Arundel, FREDERICK, Kent, Washington, and Worcester counties may
be compelled to live in unsanitary, overcrowded, or unsafe
conditions to the detriment of the health, welfare, and
well-being of these persons and of the whole community of which
they are a part. By increasing the housing supply of the
counties and the ability of low and moderate income persons and
families to obtain mortgage financing, the clearance, replanning,
development and redevelopment of blighted areas will be aided,
the critical shortage of adequate housing will be ameliorated,
and the ability to preserve and utilize existing housing and
neighborhoods will be greatly enhanced.
(3) A major cause of this housing crisis is the lack
of funds at borrowing costs which are at a level whereby low and
moderate income persons and families can afford to own and
maintain decent, safe, and sanitary housing. An additional major
cause of a housing crisis is the lack of funds available to
finance housing by the private mortgage lending institutions of
the State. This lack of funds has frustrated the maintenance,
sale, and purchase of existing residences in Allegany, Anne
Arundel, FREDERICK, Kent, Washington, and Worcester counties.
(c) In this section:
(2) "County" means a county that has adopted the
optional powers of home rule provided under Article XI-F of the
Constitution and Anne Arundel, FREDERICK, and Washington
counties.
