SB 6569 - DIGEST

Finds that: (1) Numerous Washington citizens are unable to acquire adequate housing and other basic necessities because they are poor or infirm;

(2) Nonprofit corporations are attempting to build or repair low-cost housing for these persons, but are finding it difficult to fund the increasing demand for such assistance; and

(3) State agencies and those who contract with them to demolish, repair, or construct structures owned by the state generate surplus building materials that have little monetary value and are not useful to state institutions, but that would assist nonprofit organizations in their attempts to provide habitable environments for these persons.

Finds that it is in the best interest of the state to provide for the donation of surplus state-owned construction property and property produced from demolition of existing structures to qualifying nonprofit corporations to assist them in housing the poor and infirm citizens of the state.
