50152.7.  The department may promulgate regulations establishing habitability standards for dwelling units assisted by the department providing for the density, use, and physical standards of housing units shared pursuant to Section 19904, for the purpose of assuring decent, safe, and sanitary standards for those households while taking into account the special circumstances of shared housing. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, these regulations shall not be considered building standards and shall be treated as program regulations promulgated pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code.(Added by Stats. 1984, Ch. 1072, Sec. 2.)

2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 31 - HOUSING AND HOME FINANCE|PART 1 - STATE HOUSING POLICY AND GENERAL PROVISIONS|CHAPTER 3 - Agency and Department Responsibilities|Section 50153.

50153.  To further the goals of this division and to enable the success of a statewide housing program, it is essential, and the Legislature intends, that the agency and the department shall closely coordinate their activities to assure that the goals and purposes of this division are realized. To this end, the Secretary of Business, Consumer Services and Housing and the director of the department have been given a role on the board which administers the agency and approves major contractual agreements, and a veto power over agency regulations in certain policy areas as specified in Section 50462, and the agency is required to coordinate its activities with the department. Subject to these restrictions, however, and when carrying out its own unique responsibilities, the agency is relatively free of regulation by other agencies of state government.(Amended by Stats. 2013, Ch. 352, Sec. 374. (AB 1317) Effective September 26, 2013. Operative July 1, 2013, by Sec. 543 of Ch. 352.)

50154.  The California Housing Finance Agency, within the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency, is a primary agency in the implementation of state housing policy. The agency’s role is to make financing opportunities available for the construction, rehabilitation, and purchase of housing for persons and families of low or moderate income by (a) borrowing in the securities markets and relending to housing sponsors, developers, and homeowners and (b) insuring loans made by the agency or by others for the same purposes. In general, the agency pays for its operations out of the excess of its interest revenue from loan repayments over the cost of the money it borrows or, in the case of insurance, by the excess of fees charged for the provision of insurance over the value of claims paid. The agency shall seek to implement the goals, policies, and objectives of the California Statewide Housing Plan and shall annually report on its progress toward compliance with priorities in the California Statewide Housing Plan.(Amended by Stats. 2013, Ch. 352, Sec. 375. (AB 1317) Effective September 26, 2013. Operative July 1, 2013, by Sec. 543 of Ch. 352.)

50156.  The California Housing Finance Agency shall provide to the Legislature and the Legislative Analyst, in each annual report required by Section 51005, information concerning all units produced, assisted, or insured using agency funds. This information shall include, but shall not be limited to, the sales prices of these units, the number of units within various price ranges or price classifications, the rents being charged for the units, the number of rental units within each price range, the number of households by income level purchasing the units, and the number by household income occupying the rental units.(Added by renumbering Section 50154 (as added by Stats. 1983, Ch. 323) by Stats. 1987, Ch. 904, Sec. 1.

2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 31 - HOUSING AND HOME FINANCE|PART 1 - STATE HOUSING POLICY AND GENERAL PROVISIONS|CHAPTER 3.6 - Low-Income Housing Credit|Section 50199.4.

50199.4.  The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following:(a)  The federal Tax Reform Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-514) and subsequent amendments to the Internal Revenue Code, including, but not limited to, the federal Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1989, establishes a low-income housing tax credit to stimulate the production and rehabilitation of shelter for lower income individuals and families. (b)  The federal law allows credit of approximately 9 percent each year over a 10-year or 15-year period for expenses for new construction and rehabilitation of each qualifying low-income unit. A credit of approximately 4 percent each year over a 10-year or 15-year period is provided for the expenses of the acquisition of an existing building generally not placed in service within the last 10 years, and the construction and rehabilitation of each qualifying low-income unit financed with tax-exempt bonds or certain other federal subsidies. (c)  The federal law limits the low-income housing tax credits that can be annually allocated by each state. This credit authorization is to be allocated by the state housing credit agency. Not less than 10 percent of that amount is required to be set aside for projects involving nonprofit organizations. (d)  Federal law requires a plan for allocation of credit among projects, including selection criteria to be used to determine housing priorities that are appropriate to local conditions. (e)  Federal law requires that the credit dollar amount allocated to a project not exceed the amount necessary for the financial feasibility of the project and its viability as a qualified low-income housing project throughout the credit period. This analysis shall include a determination of the reasonableness of developmental and operational costs. (f)  The credit agency is required to perform certain other functions under federal tax law to ensure the availability of the credits and to ensure compliance with federal tax law. (g)  It is necessary to designate the state housing credit agency and to establish an allocation system for the low-income housing credit. (Added by renumbering Section 50199.6 by Stats. 1994, Ch. 1164, Sec. 24. Effective January 1, 1995. Conditionally inoperative as provided in Section 50199.18.)

50199.5.  The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following:(a)  Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code has been modified by the federal Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1989 to require that the housing credit agency establish a qualified allocation plan which sets forth selection criteria to be used to determine housing priorities that are appropriate to local conditions, and which gives preference in allocating housing credit dollar amounts to projects serving the lowest income tenants and projects obligated to serve low-income tenants for the longest periods. (b)  The qualified allocation plan shall encompass and incorporate the criteria and requirements set forth in Section 50199.14. (c)  Certain provisions of the California Tax Credit should be modified to conform to the changes to the federal low-income housing tax credit. (d)  The Tax Credit Allocation Committee should, to the extent possible, allocate the California low-income housing tax credit using the same criteria and requirements used in allocating the federal tax credit. (e)  The public interest is best served by the dissemination of information regarding the low-income housing tax credit program to all areas of the state, with special efforts in rural areas, to ensure greater knowledge and participation in the program.

(b)  To the extent that any provision of this chapter is held to be inconsistent with, or repugnant to, federal law, the provision shall be given effect in accordance with its terms to the greatest extent possible and consistent with the federal law and inconsistency shall have no effect on the remaining provisions of this chapter.
