Housing authorities: City of San Diego, County of San Bernardino, and County of Santa Clara: middle-income housing projects pilot program.

Existing law, the Housing Authorities Law, authorizes a housing authority of a city or county to, among other things, prepare, carry out, acquire, lease, and operate housing projects and housing developments for persons of low income, as provided. Previously existing law, until January 1, 2022, authorized a housing authority located in the City of San Diego, the County of San Bernardino, or the County of Santa Clara to implement a pilot program to develop and finance a middle-income housing project, as defined, if the project received gap financing, as defined. Previously existing law required any gap financing to be approved by the housing authority's legislative body, as provided. Previously existing law required the housing authority to provide a report to the Legislature, as specified, on and before January 1, 2020, and on or before January 1, 2022. This bill would reenact the above-described authorization for a housing authority located in the City of San Diego, the County of San Bernardino, or the County of Santa Clara to implement a pilot program to develop and finance a middle-income housing project, as provided. The bill would require the housing authority to provide a report to the Legislature, as specified, on or before January 1, 2024, and every 2 years thereafter. The bill would repeal these provisions as of January 1, 2027. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of San Diego, the County of San Bernardino, or the County of Santa Clara.
