Department of Housing and Community Development.

Existing law establishes the Department of Housing and Community Development in the Business, Consumer Services, and Housing Agency. The department is responsible for administering various housing and home loan programs throughout the state. Existing law, the Employee Housing Act, requires a person operating employee housing to obtain a permit to operate that housing from the agency that enforces the act, which can either be the Department of Housing and Community Development or a city, county, or city and county that assumes responsibility for enforcing the act. The act defines several terms for its purposes and deems any reference to the Commission of Housing and Community Development to refer to the Department of Housing and Community Development. This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to this provision.
