U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 8141. Congressional findings
The Congress finds and declares -
(1) that artistic, cultural, and historic resources, including
urban design, constitute an integral part of a suitable living
environment for the residents of the Nation's urban areas, and
should be available to all residents of such areas, regardless of
income;
(2) that the development or preservation of such resources is a
significant and necessary factor in restoring and maintaining the
vitality of the urban environment, and can serve as a catalyst
for improving decaying or deteriorated urban communities and
expanding economic opportunities, and for creating a sense of
community identity, spirit, and pride; and
(3) that the encouragement and support of local initiatives to
develop or preserve such resources, particularly in connection
with federally assisted housing or community development
activities or in communities with a high proportion of low-income
residents, is an appropriate function of the Federal Government.
