moderate income persons, The Legislature intends to encourage partnerships in order to secure
the benefits of cooperation by the public and private sectors and to reduce the cost of housing for
the target group by effectively combining all available resources and cost-saving measures. The
Legislature further intends that local governments achieve this combination of resources by
encouraging active partnerships between government, lenders, developers, and community
groups to produce affordable housing and pride related services.
