<ns0:Subject>Prohousing enhanced infrastructure financing districts: Infrastructure Partnership Financing Program.</ns0:Subject>
</ns0:GeneralSubject>
<ns0:DigestText>
<html:p>The Planning and Zoning law requires each planning agency to prepare and the legislative body of each county and city to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for the physical development of the county or city that includes specified elements, including a housing element. The law requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to designate jurisdictions as prohousing, as specified. The law requires that jurisdictions that have adopted a housing element that has been found by the department to be in substantial compliance with specified requirements and that have been designated as prohousing based on their adoption of prohousing local policies, as defined, be awarded additional points or preference in the scoring of program applications for certain programs.</html:p>
<html:p>Existing law authorizes the legislative body of a city or county
to designate a proposed enhanced infrastructure financing district to finance public capital facilities or other specified projects of communitywide significance that provide significant benefits to the district or the surrounding community, including, among other things, the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of housing for persons of very low, low, and moderate income for rent or purchase, as specified. Existing law authorizes an infrastructure financing plan to contain a provision for the division of taxes levied upon taxable property in the area included within the district, and authorizes the public financing authority of the district to issue bonds, as provided.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would authorize a city or county that is designated as prohousing to establish a prohousing enhanced infrastructure financing district if certain requirements are met, as specified. The bill would prescribe requirements applicable to those
districts. The bill would expand the definition of “prohousing local policies” for purposes of the above-described provisions to include the establishment of one of these districts, and would require that the jurisdiction that established, and projects located within, a district receive enhanced points or preference than the baseline provided to other prohousing jurisdictions.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would establish the Infrastructure Partnership Financing Program, to be administered by the Department of Housing and Community Development, and authorize prohousing enhanced infrastructure financing districts to apply for funding from the program, as specified. Upon appropriation, the bill would require the department to provide loans or grants to applicants for qualifying housing developments, as defined and specified. The bill would require the department to adopt
guidelines for the operation of the program, as specified, and would exempt those program guidelines from the rulemaking provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act.</html:p>

<html:p>The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:</html:p>
<html:p>
(a)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
California is facing a housing crisis that necessitates additional tools to help local jurisdictions establish new funding streams to address overall housing needs, with a particular focus on supporting affordable housing, associated infrastructure, and community revitalization in infill areas.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(b)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The creation of a prohousing enhanced infrastructure financing district will authorize prohousing jurisdictions that take significant measures to accelerate housing production and affordability to capitalize on revenues from enhanced infrastructure financing
districts. This will spur private investment and provide additional dollars to support development and revitalization of areas that include housing for all income levels with equitable access to opportunities, including, but not limited to, transportation mobility, goods, services, and economic opportunities.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(c)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The benefits of a prohousing enhanced infrastructure financing district include the ability to fund more housing units, as well as needed infrastructure improvements to meet the current and future capacity demands and affirmatively further fair housing, as required by Section 8899.50.
