Developmental disabilities: housing.

Existing law establishes the Multifamily Housing Program, under the administration of the Department of Housing and Community Development, to provide financial assistance in the form of a deferred payment loan to fund projects for, among other things, the development and construction of new transitional or rental housing developments. Existing law establishes the Predevelopment Loan Program, under the administration of the Department of Housing and Community Development, to make predevelopment loans and land purchase loans to eligible sponsors for use in developing assisted housing for occupancy primarily by persons of low income. This bill would establish the California Developmental Disabilities Community Support Housing Fund, to be administered by the department. The bill would require specified moneys to be paid into the fund, including, among others, moneys saved from transitioning individuals with developmental disabilities from an institution to housing in the community. The bill would require the department, in collaboration and consultation with the State Department of Developmental Services and regional centers, to expend moneys in the fund, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to develop housing through the Multifamily Housing Program and the Predevelopment Loan Program for individuals with developmental disabilities.
