Public Housing Drug Elimination Act of 1988. 42 USC 11901 note. 42 USC 11901.

The Congress finds that— (1) the Federal Government has a duty to provide public housing that is decent, safe, and free from i l l ^ a l drugs; (2) public housing projects in many areas si&er from rampant drug-related crime; (3) drug dealers are increasingly imposing a reign of terror on public housing tenants; (4) the increase in drug-related 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; and (5) local law enforcement authorities often lack the resources to deal with the drug problem in public housing, particularly in light of the recent reductions in Federal aid to cities.
