Statute text

(a)One hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) of the funds transferred for purposes of this chapter in Item 2240-114-0001 of the Budget Act of 2000, any funds transferred in Item 2240-114-0001 and appropriated pursuant to Item 2240-114-3006 in the Budget Act of 2001, and any funds appropriated thereafter for the purposes of this section shall be used to award incentive grants to cities, counties, and city and counties to be used for any project, service, or other local need determined by the city, county, or city and county to be in the community’s best interest. Grants shall be provided through a grant agreement that requires the recipient to provide to the department a report on the number of residential building permits issued during the reporting period, the number of certificates of occupancy issued for those units, and the services provided or amenities purchased or built. The department may operate this program through at least one annual allocation. In addition, because housing production may be affected by economic factors during the course of any allocation year, the department may, if it deems necessary, reasonably adjust incentive criteria to meet the intent of this section and allow funding to remain available for subsequent annual funding cycles upon expenditure authorization by the Legislature.

(b)To be eligible for a grant pursuant to this section, a local government shall do both of the following:

(1)By the end of the calendar year in which unit production is to be counted (hereafter referred to as “allocation reporting year”), have an adopted housing element that the department has determined pursuant to Section 65585 of the Government Code to be in substantial compliance with the requirements of Article 10.6 (commencing with Section 65580) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code.
