§ 15A-101. Legislative findings and declaration of purpose.

The Prince George's County Council finds that areas of the County are in varying stages of physical and/or economic decline; that a number of persons of low and moderate financial means reside in these areas; and that the welfare of the County and the well being of its citizens depend on the alleviation of these conditions and the establishment and maintenance of viable urban and rural communities through a coordinated and systematic County-wide program utilizing Federal, State, and local resources. In recognition of these conditions, the County Council hereby declares its intent to establish a coordinated and systematic County-wide housing and community development plan and program incorporating innovative approaches designed to revitalize deteriorating communities, and provide decent housing, a suitable living environment, expanded economic opportunities, and public services, principally to persons of low and moderate income.
