Cal. Health & Safety Code § 50690 — Findings and Declarations is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

The Legislature finds and declares that the attainment of the national and state goal of providing every American family with a decent home and a suitable living environment is complicated by a lack of information and technical assistance regarding housing planning, design, rehabilitation, construction, and financing; alternative housing options for owners and renters; building codes and standards and housing codes; site acquisition and development; and building materials and methods and their costs and availability.

The Legislature further finds and declares that the attainment of the national and state housing goal can be achieved, in part, through the fullest practicable utilization of the resources and capabilities of private enterprise and of individual and group self-help techniques. A significant number of persons and families of low or moderate income are capable of building or rehabilitating their own homes, in whole or in part, with considerable savings to themselves and benefits to the public.
