(2) It is in the best interests of the people of this state to insure that there is an adequate supply of housing for people of all income levels, particularly low-income people, in order to reduce:
(a) The number of people who are homeless or who live in inadequate housing in this state; and
(b) Dependence on various state services that exist because of the needs created by homelessness and inadequate housing.
