The Congress of the United States has established, as a national goal, the provision of a decent home and a suitable living environment for every American family and the Legislature finds and declares that the attainment of this goal is a priority of the highest order. The national housing goal, as it applies to California, is deserving of adoption by the Legislature, with the accompanying commitment to guide, encourage, and direct where possible, the efforts of the private and public sectors of the economy to cooperate and participate in the early attainment of a decent home and a satisfying environment for every Californian.
