Statute text

(a)Upon appropriation by the Legislature for purposes of this chapter, the department may make loans or grants, or both loans and grants, to rehabilitate, capitalize operating subsidy or replacement reserves for, and extend the long-term affordability of department-funded housing projects that have an affordability restriction that has expired, that have an affordability restriction with a remaining term of less than 10 years, or are otherwise at risk for conversion.

(b)Notwithstanding any other law, if the department makes a loan or grant pursuant to this chapter to a project that has an existing loan issued by the department for a multifamily housing project, the department may additionally approve an extension of the existing loan, the reinstatement of a qualifying unpaid matured loan, the subordination of a loan made by the department to new indebtedness, or an investment of tax credit equity for purposes of funding necessary rehabilitation and extending the affordability of the project without complying with the requirements of Chapter 3.9 (commencing with Section 50560). The department may also forgive some or all of the accrued interest on the existing department loan if necessary to facilitate the department’s new rehabilitation loan.

(c)The department may establish loan processing or transaction fees for loans or grants authorized by this chapter, as necessary, in an amount not to exceed the amount necessary to generate sufficient revenue to cover the cost of processing loan transactions under this chapter. However, the department may waive fees to the extent necessary for project feasibility.
