## SEC. 5122 CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS **[**[42 U.S.C. 11901](/us/usc/t42/s11901)**]** The Congress finds that— ####
(1)the Federal Government has a duty to provide public and other federally assisted low-income housing that is decent, safe, and free from illegal drugs; ####
(2)public and other federally assisted low-income housing in many areas suffers from rampant drug-related or violent crime; ####
(3)drug dealers are increasingly imposing a reign of terror on public and other federally assisted low-income housing tenants; ####
(4)the increase in drug-related and violent crime not only leads to murders, muggings, and other forms of violence against tenants, but also to a deterioration of the physical environment that requires substantial government expenditures; ####
(5)local law enforcement authorities often lack the resources to deal with the drug problem in public and other federally assisted low-income housing, particularly in light of the recent reductions in Federal aid to cities; ####
(6)the Federal Government should provide support for effective safety and security measures to combat drug-related and violent crime, primarily in and around public housing projects with severe crime problems; ####
(7)closer cooperation should be encouraged between public and assisted housing managers, local law enforcement agencies, and residents in developing and implementing anti-crime programs; and ####
(8)anti-crime strategies should be improved through the expansion of community-oriented policing initiatives.
