It is the intent of the Legislature to encourage the provision of shelter to persons who are rendered homeless as the result of a natural disaster at as low a cost as possible, to encourage people to move from shelters to a self-supporting environment as soon as possible, and to encourage the provision of shelters at as low a cost and as quickly as possible without compromising the health and safety of shelter occupants.
