Inadequate Codes
Insufficient statewide housing policies,
present local laws and codes concerning the use
of materials in home construction, and a lack of
sufficient finances, were all listed in the report
as major causes of the state's substandard
housing.
The lack of a uniform state building code
was cited by the commission as a large obstacle
in the way of achieving adequate housing. All
members of the commission desired a state
building code that would make use of low-cost
construction techniques. Some local building
codes throughout the state now prohibit the
use of such low-cost techniques.
