/ OLUTION
Result
WHEREAS, many residents of the State of Utah cannot presently
purchase housing because of high interest rates and lack of money
for housing in private financial institutions; and
WHEREAS, many residents of Salt Lake City currently live in
older sections of the community and are unable to get money to remodel
and restore housing because of practices by private financial insti-
tutions which deny money to these areas other than on the basis of
the ability to pay; and
WHEREAS, the effect of denial of money by area is to force
families out of the city thus creating school closure, and property
being bought by speculators and frequent consequent deterioration;
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners of
Salt Lake City urges the Social Services Committee of the State
Legislature and the State Legislature assembled in 1975, to give
consideration to the Utah Housing Finance Agency Bill which would
have the effect of assuaging the above mentioned complaints by raising
money through the sale of bonds, passing that money on to the private
fr nancial institutions with the understanding that those institutions
would pass the savings in interest on to the consumer and make money
available to the citizens of the State of Utah which would not other-
wise be available for the purpose of home purchase, fix-up and remod-
eling, and distribute the money on the basis of population to qualify
households without discrimination by area and would provide additional
means of financing the purchase, remodeling and restitution of older
residential structures.
Passed by the Board of Commissioners of Salt Lake 'ty, Utah,
this 10th day of October , 1974.
