[HISTORY: Adopted by the Township Council of the Township of Parsippany-Troy
Hills 10-28-1986 by Ord. No. 86:72 as Sec. 2-18 of the 1986 Code. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
It is the considered opinion of the Township Council that senior citizens
of low income in the community are entitled to safe and sanitary housing accommodations
at rentals they can afford. Such low rental housing accommodations are in
extremely short supply, and overcrowded and congested housing will eventuate
from such a shortage and thereby impair public safety and economic values.
The shortage of such safe and sanitary housing for low-income senior citizens
cannot be totally eliminated through private enterprise, and, therefore, new
and rehabilitated construction of housing projects and facilities would not
be competitive with private enterprise.
The Township desires to participate in the area of operations of the
Housing Authority of Morris County throughout its territorial boundary and
the jurisdiction of the Township Council for the purpose of alleviating the
shortage of safe and sanitary housing for low-income senior citizens. The
Township does hereby consent to its inclusion in the area of operation of
the Housing Authority of Morris County, through the leasing program. The Township
Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to file a certified copy
of this chapter with the Commissioner of the State Department of Conservation
and Economic Development and with the Secretary of the Housing Authority of
Morris County. The Township reserves the right to modify or terminate this
chapter at any time.
