supplemental legislative findings and purpose.

The legislature finds and declares that there is a critical shortage of multiple-family, transitional and congregate dwellings that provide decent, safe and sanitary residential housing at rentals that persons and families of low or moderate income can afford. It is further found and declared that private individuals, organizations and entities willing to undertake the construction of multiple-family, transitional and congregate dwellings are unable to obtain loans at sufficiently low interest rates to finance multiple-family, transitional and congregate dwelling projects for persons and families of low or moderate income. Providing mortgage loans at below-market interest rates for multiple- family, transitional and congregate dwellings would increase substantially the availability of multiple-family, transitional and congregate dwellings for occupancy by persons and families of low or moderate income and is expressly declared to be a valid public purpose and a corporate purpose that may be exercised by the authority.
