TO AFFIRM THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA'S CONTINUED COMMITMENT TO UTILIZE ALL APPROPRIATE MEANS TO ENSURE THAT ALL SOUTH CAROLINIANS HAVE ACCESS TO SAFE, DECENT, SANITARY, AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
Whereas, the State of South Carolina recognizes the need of all citizens of South Carolina to have safe, decent, sanitary, and affordable housing; and
Whereas, in 1990 the South Carolina General Assembly enacted Act No. 617, which established a Task Force to study hopelessness in South Carolina and to recommend to the General Assembly solutions for this serious problem; and
Whereas, individuals without adequate housing have difficulty in securing and maintaining gainful employment and achieving economic and social independence; and
Whereas, access to affordable housing will assist individuals in securing employment, becoming independent, and enhancing their quality of life, thus, enhancing the quality of life of the community and the State. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the State of South Carolina by January 1, 2001, will utilize all appropriate means to ensure that all South Carolinians have access to safe, decent, sanitary, and affordable housing.
