51203. Upon making a determination that the financial status of a rental or cooperative housing development is such as to jeopardize any economic interest of the agency in such housing development, the agency may assume managerial and financial control of the housing sponsor and may supervise and prescribe the activities of the housing sponsor in such manner and under such terms and conditions as the agency may stipulate in any contract with the housing sponsor.

Whenever a housing sponsor of a rental or cooperative housing development accumulates an earned surplus greater than such operating and replacement reserves as the agency may require and no person or family of low or moderate income occupying the housing development pays more than the affordable rent, then such surplus shall be transferred to the agency for use in lowering the rents for persons and families of low or moderate income in other housing developments to a level no greater than the affordable rents.

51225. In selecting proposals for financing, the agency shall balance its activity between urban metropolitan, nonmetropolitan, and rural metropolitan areas of the state in general proportion to the needs identified in the California Statewide Housing Plan.

In housing developments for which the agency provides a construction loan but not a mortgage loan, not less than 20 percent of the units shall be made available on a priority basis to lower income households. Units required to be made available on a priority basis pursuant to this section, shall be offered exclusively to those within the priority group unless or until the agency permits the unit to be offered to other potential occupant groups.
(b)  In rental housing developments for which the agency provides insurance but not construction or mortgage loans, not less than 10 percent of the units shall be made available on a priority basis to lower income households.

51228. At the time a mortgage loan commitment is made to finance any rental or cooperative housing development, a written agreement between the agency and housing sponsor shall be executed, designating the number of units to be made available on a priority basis within such housing development to very low income households, to other persons and families of low or moderate income, and to other households. If the number of units occupied by very low income households in any housing development ever falls below the number agreed to by the agency and housing sponsor, then units which become available for occupancy shall, subject to available subsidies be made available on a priority basis to very low income households until the number of units so occupied equals at least the number specified in the agreement. The agency may from time to time review agreements designating the allocation of units and, subject to agreement with the housing sponsor, may increase the number of units to be made available to very low income households if consistent with maintenance of the financial integrity of the housing development and continuance of permitted earnings distributions, or may establish minimum rents or minimum incomes for occupancy of units becoming vacant and not otherwise allocated to very low income households if necessary to the financial integrity of the housing development and continuance of permitted earnings distributions.
