Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The California Legislature has declared the availability of
					 affordable residential housing is of vital statewide importance and state
					 agencies, including the Department of Transportation, have a responsibility to
					 use the power vested in them to meet the housing needs of all economic segments
					 of the community. Accordingly, the Department sets forth herein the Affordable
					 Rent Program by which the Department can consider affordability when adjusting
					 rents for current residential tenants who are economically disadvantaged. The
					 Affordable Rent Program is intended to protect existing low-income tenants from
					 large rental rate increases, which may otherwise result in their current rental
					 unit becoming unaffordable. For new tenants, rents will be set at fair market
					 rates.
