2023 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.)
2023 California Code › Health and Safety Code - HSC › DIVISION 24 - COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING › PART 8 - PUBLIC HOUSING ELECTION IMPLEMENTATION LAW › Section 37001.3.

37001.3. The maximum income of “persons of low income,” as determined by the state public body, developing, constructing, or acquiring the property, for purposes of Section 1 of Article XXXIV of the State Constitution, shall not exceed the maximum income of lower income households, as defined in Section 50079.5.

2023 California Code › Health and Safety Code - HSC › DIVISION 24 - COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING › PART 10 - HISTORICAL REHABILITATION › CHAPTER 1 - General Provisions and Definitions › Section 37601.

37601. The Legislature finds and declares that properties and structures of historical or architectural significance are an essential public resource and that it is necessary and essential that cities, counties, and cities and counties be authorized to make long-term, low-interest loans to finance the rehabilitation of properties of historic or architectural significance. Unless local agencies have the authority to provide loans for the rehabilitation of historic properties, many properties of historic or architectural significance will continue to deteriorate at an accelerated rate because loans from private sources are not sufficiently available for their rehabilitation. It shall be the policy of the state to preserve, protect, and restore the historical and architectural resources of the state.

Any change in the interest rate shall conform to the provisions of Section 1916.5 of the Civil Code, except that paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 1916.5 shall not apply and that the “prescribed standard” specified in Section 1916.5 shall be periodically determined by the legislative body after hearing preceded by public notice to affected parties, and shall reflect changes in interest rates on the local agency’s bonds, losses due to defaults, and bona fide changes in loan servicing charges related to the administration of a program under the provisions of this part. The local agency may collect interest and principal together with such fees and charges incurred in such financing and may contract to pay any person, partnership, association, corporation, or public agency with respect thereto. The local agency may hold deeds of trust as security for financing historical rehabilitation and may pledge the same as security for repayment of bonds issued pursuant to this part. The local agency may establish the terms and conditions for the financing of historical rehabilitation undertaken pursuant to this part.
The local agency may require that the full amount owed on any loan for historical rehabilitation made pursuant to this part shall be due and payable upon sale or other transfer of ownership of the property subject to such rehabilitation.

37627. The historical rehabilitation financing program may include:
(1)  A requirement that rehabilitation financed by the program shall meet standards higher than the applicable state or local standards for rehabilitation of properties, including, but not limited to, design guidelines, standards of aesthetics, use of materials, integrity of design, or historical authenticity.
(2)  A provision for limitation of the degree or kind of historical rehabilitation eligible for financing, including, but not limited to, rehabilitation of parapets or dangerous parts of facades of historic properties.
(3)  A requirement that the local agency receive a legally binding assurance that the property rehabilitated with financing from this program shall be preserved, subject to reasonable conditions. The form and conditions of such assurance shall be specified in a historical rehabilitation financing program.
(4)  A capital outlay program for the historical rehabilitation area which identifies the public improvements needed to support private rehabilitation efforts. Such improvements may include street improvements, street closures, street fixtures, and landscaping.
(5)  If the program is likely to result in anticipated increases in rents or other housing costs which would cause displacement of residents of historic properties, or is likely to result in residents paying a disproportionately large percentage of their incomes for housing, a commitment that the local agency shall make efforts to prevent displacement of residents. Such efforts shall include, but are not limited to, utilization of federal, state, or local funding programs which may be available for rent subsidies.
(6)  A provision for control of rents if controls are included in order to prevent precipitous increases in rent which the rehabilitation would engender. Such provision may include a requirement that the borrower agree during the term of the loan not to raise the rental amount over an amount which the local agency establishes as a fair rate of return for similar investments and will allow for increases that are reasonably necessary to provide for proper maintenance of the property.

2023 California Code › Health and Safety Code - HSC › DIVISION 24 - COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING › PART 13 - RESIDENTIAL REHABILITATION › CHAPTER 1 - General Provisions and Definitions › Section 37911.

37911. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that it is necessary and essential that cities, counties, and cities and counties, and redevelopment agencies and housing authorities within such cities, counties, and cities and counties, be authorized to make long-term, low-interest loans to finance residential rehabilitation in depressed residential areas in order to encourage the upgrading of property in such areas. Unless such local agencies intervene to provide some form of assistance to finance residential rehabilitation, many depressed residential areas will deteriorate at an accelerated pace because property owners are not able to obtain rehabilitation loans from private sources.
The Legislature further finds and declares that many depressed residential areas contain scattered vacant parcels and residences that are so severely deteriorated that they must be demolished. The existence of such conditions in residential rehabilitation areas often impedes the progress of residential rehabilitation and improvement. It is, therefore, necessary that local agencies be authorized to include new construction in the form of residential infill construction as an integral part of a residential rehabilitation financing program.
The Legislature also finds and declares that preservation of existing housing stock is a primary purpose of this part. Much housing exists that can be preserved if moved from one location to another. It is, therefore, necessary that local agencies be authorized to include such preservation in the form of move-on residences.

37912.5. Unless the context otherwise requires, “systematic enforcement,” as used in this part, means the enforcement of rehabilitation standards in accordance with a systematic program of making inspections of dwelling structures in accordance with objective criteria for selection or order of selection of dwelling structures to be inspected. Systematic enforcement may be limited to rental or multifamily dwellings. It does not refer to a policy of responding only to complaints and requests for inspections. It does not include inspections where violations are not cited. It does not include the concentrated enforcement of rehabilitation standards in a designated geographic area within the jurisdiction.
