Housing: EO N-06-19 State Land Affordable Housing Infrastructure, Demolition, Abatement, and Remediation Fund: grant program.

Existing law establishes the Department of General Services in the Government Operations Agency. By executive order, the Governor requires the department to create a digitized inventory of all state-owned parcels that are in excess of state agencies' foreseeable needs, as provided, and to issue, in consultation with the Department of Housing and Community Development, requests for proposals on individual parcels and accept proposals from developers of affordable housing interested in entering into low-cost, long-term ground leases of these parcels, as described. This bill would establish the EO N-06-19 State Land Affordable Housing Infrastructure, Demolition, Abatement, and Remediation Fund and would make moneys in the fund available, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to an unspecified state agency for purposes of establishing and administering a grant program, as specified. The bill would require the state agency to establish, upon appropriation by the Legislature, the grant program and would require the grant program to meet specified requirements, including that the grant be for the construction of infrastructure, demolition of existing buildings, abatement, or remediation of qualified development projects, as defined, on qualified property, as defined. The bill would require specified grants moneys awarded to the developer that are not used when the qualified development project is completed to be returned to the state agency and deposited into the fund. The bill would require the state agency to implement rules and regulations for purposes of administering the grant program, including as specified. The bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation designating a state agency to administer the fund.
