CA Health & Safety Code § 36072 (2021)

36072.  Within its area of operation and with reference to farm labor centers, a housing authority shall comply with the provisions of Sections 34331, 34332, and 34333. The covenant required by subdivision (a) of Section 34332 shall incorporate the regulations adopted pursuant to Section 36071, rather than the State Housing Law, Part 1.5 (commencing with Section 17910) of Division 13, and the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, if the lease is made subsequent to the effective date of the regulations adopted pursuant to Section 36071.(Added by Stats. 1974, Ch. 1112.)
CA Health & Safety Code § 37000 (2021)
2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 24 - COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING|PART 8 - PUBLIC HOUSING ELECTION IMPLEMENTATION LAW|Section 37000.

37000.  The Legislature finds and declares that Article XXXIV of the State Constitution was approved by the voters for the purpose of providing a mechanism for expressing community concern regarding the development, acquisition, or construction of federally subsidized conventional public housing projects. Such developments typically were different from and inconsistent with housing developments provided by the private sector. Such differences included architecture, design, and locational standards as well as the level of amenities provided. Such developments were occupied entirely by persons of low income, and usually were not subject to ad valorem property taxes.The Legislature finds and declares that new forms of housing assistance can provide housing for persons of low income in a manner consistent with and supportive of optimum community improvement. Such forms of housing assistance may allow for mixed income occupancy in developments representative of and competitive with similar market rate developments provided by the private sector. Such mixed income developments are frequently comparable to market rate projects in terms of architecture, design, and locational standards as well as the level of amenities provided, and may be subject to ad valorem property taxes.Recognizing that new forms of housing assistance provide new approaches for housing persons of low income, it is the intent of the Legislature in enacting Sections 37001, 37001. 3, and 37001.5 to clarify ambiguities relating to the scope of the applicability of Article XXXIV which now exist. Therefore, and pursuant to Section 2 of Article XXXIV, this part is enacted in order to facilitate the operation of Article XXXIV and is consistent with the provisions of that article.The terms “state public body” and “persons of low income” as used in this part have the same meaning as in Article XXXIV.(Amended by Stats. 1979, Ch. 692.)
