   The Collector-Treasurer shall establish the “Neighborhood Housing Trust”, which trust shall be established in the form and manner of the attached Declaration of Trust; and that, subject to approval by the Boston City Council and the Mayor, the Neighborhood Housing Trust be and hereby is authorized to accept and expend any and all funds contributed to it consistent with the purposes of the Declaration of Trust attached hereto and filed herewith.
(CBC 1985 10-8.1; Ord. 1986 c. 7, § 1)

10-9   BOSTON RESIDENT PREFERENCE IN HOUSING PROGRAMS.
10-9.1   Purpose.
   These Sections seek to supplement and clarify the various housing programs within the city by codifying a preference for Boston residents that participate.
(CBC 1985 10-9.1; Ord. 2002 c. 11)
10-9.2   Definitions.
   For the purpose of this Section, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
   BOSTON RESIDENT. Any individual who maintains a primary residence (i.e., normally eats, sleeps and maintains personal and household effects) in the city. This definition shall include those persons that are commonly known and/or Agency-verifiable as homeless and subsisting within the city.
   HOMELESS. Any person or persons that have no home, permanent place of residence or permanent housing.
(CBC 1985 10-9.2; Ord. 2002 c. 11)
10-9.3   Policy Statement.
   It is the policy of the city to ensure that every program and/or initiative which targets or intends to target housing and was/is created, developed, implemented, administered, required, supervised, managed and/or guided by the city shall, to the greatest extent allowable under law, include a preference for Boston residents. Since this policy instills only a preference for Boston residents, it does not, and it is not the intention of this policy to, exclude non-residents of the city from such programs and/or initiatives. This policy shall be construed broadly to effect the intended purpose of installing the aforementioned preference.
(CBC 1985 10-9.3; Ord. 2002 c. 11)
