Article 2 explained in plain English
This article sets out the purpose for which the Housing Support Regulation was made, which is to make it easier for a family to own a suitable home. The Regulation therefore does not aim merely to provide temporary housing, but to help the family own a home.
The article ties this aim to the phrase «in accordance with the provisions contained in it», meaning that access to support is through the conditions and procedures the Regulation itself sets, not through a mere wish for housing.
This aim is to be understood together with Article 1, which defined housing support as what the State provides in the form of a housing unit, a residential plot of land, a housing loan, a plot and a housing loan together, or other forms of support. It is also to be read with Article 3, which made the Ministry of Housing the body that implements the Regulation, receives applications and decides them after studying them, while the Real Estate Development Fund provides housing loans on the Ministry's decision.
