U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 8001. Congressional findings
The Congress finds that -
(1) congregate housing, coordinated with the delivery of
supportive services, offers an innovative, proven, and
cost-effective means of enabling temporarily disabled or
handicapped individuals to maintain their dignity and
independence and to avoid costly and unnecessary
institutionalization;
(2) a large and growing number of elderly and handicapped
residents of public housing projects and of nonprofit projects
for the elderly and handicapped face premature and unnecessary
institutionalization because of the absence of or deficiencies in
the availability, adequacy, coordination, or delivery of the
supportive services required for the successful development of
adequate numbers of congregate housing projects; and
(3) supplemental supportive services, available on a secure and
continuing basis, are essential to a successful congregate
housing program.
