Housing.
Summary
The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 authorizes the State Air Resources Board to adopt a program pursuant to the act to cap greenhouse gas emissions and provide for market-based compliance mechanisms, including the auction of allowances (cap-and-trade program) . Existing law requires all moneys, except for fines and penalties, collected by the state board from the auction or sale of allowances as part of a market-based compliance mechanism to be deposited in the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund and to be available, upon appropriation by the Legislature. Existing law provides that, to the extent that funds are available, the Department of Housing and Community Development shall make loans for the development and construction of a housing development project within close proximity to a transit station, as specified. This bill would state findings and declarations of the Legislature relating to transportation and residential housing development, as specified. The bill would create the Sustainable Communities for All program, which shall begin operations on January 1, 2015, to fund transit-related projects through competitive grants and loans, as specified. The Sustainable Communities for All program would not be implemented until the Legislature appropriates funds for the program. This bill would appropriate an unspecified sum from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund to be allocated to the Department of Housing and Community Development to provide loans for the development and construction of housing development projects within close proximity to transit stations, and to other specified projects and programs intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
