RESOLUTION NO. 1375
A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMUNITY
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF PALM
SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AMENDMENT No. 1
TO THE DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT WITH ENDURE, LLC (FORMERLY GEIGER,
LLC) FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SPRINGS
PROJECT.
The Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm Springs ("Agency") finds:
A. On November 16, 2005, the Agency and Geiger LLC, now known as Endure,
LLC, ("Developer") entered into a Disposition and Development Agreement ("DDA") for
the sale of Agency real property and the development of a commercial retail center
commonly referred to as the "Springs."
B. The Agency property was formerly a landfill and required extensive remediation
of soil conditions to make the property marketable and suitable of commercial use.
Developer has incurred over $13,000,000 in total costs for the remediation of the
property. The proposed amendment to the DDA would authorize the Agency to pay
$1,385,000 towards the cost of remediation and ongoing monitoring costs in five equal
annual payments of $277,000, without interest. The Agency's payment towards
remediation and monitoring costs added to the fair market value of the land of
$4,480,000 is less that half of the total cost of remediation that the Developer paid at its
sole cost and expense.
C. The Agency reaffirms its findings in contained in Resolution No. _ approving the
original DDA, and finds that such findings remain fully applicable to the current situation
and the First Amendment to the DDA.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm
Springs resolves:
1. The First Amendment to the Disposition and Development Agreement with
Endure LLC (formerly Geiger LLC) is approved.
2. The Executive Director of the Agency or his designee is authorized to execute all
necessary documents, in a form approved by Agency Counsel.

RESOLUTION NO. 1382
A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMUNITY
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF PALM
SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS
WITH RESPECT TO THE 2008-09 DEPOSIT TO THE LOW
AND MODERATE INCOME HOUSING FUND.
The Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm Springs finds:
A. The Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm Springs (the
"Agency") has two project areas, namely, Merged Project Area No. 1 and Merged
Project Area No. 2 and that the Redevelopment Plans for Merged Project Area No. 1
and No. 2 recognize that the provision of low and moderate income housing outside of
the merged project areas will be of benefit to the merged.
B. Section 33334.3(i) of the Health and Safety Code of the State of California
(the "Law") provides that redevelopment agencies with more than one project area may
satisfy the requirements of Sections 33334.2 and 33334.6 of the haw by allocating, in
any fiscal year, less than 20 percent in one project area, if the difference between the
amount allocated and the 20 percent required is instead allocated, in that same fiscal
year, to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund from tax increment revenues
from other project areas.
C. For the fiscal year 2008-09, the Agency desires to satisfy the requirement
to deposit 20 percent of tax increment funds from Merged Project Area No. 2 to the Low
and Moderate Income Housing Fund by depositing the required amount from tax
increment revenues from Merged Project Area No. 1.
D. Prior to allocating additional funds from Merged Project Area No. 1 to the
Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund to satisfy the requirement to deposit such
amount from Merged Project Area No. 2 tax increment revenues, the Agency shall
make the finding that the use of the additional funds deposited will be of benefit to
Merged Project Area No. 1.
E. The Agency's Five-Year Implementation Plan described a need to create
458 affordable housing units between 2004-05 and 2013-14, including 142 very-low
income units.
F. The Agency has assisted the Vista Sunrise Special Needs Apartments
and Coyote Run II Apartments, resulting in the creation of 146 affordable to low and
very low income families;
G. Additional affordable housing projects that have been proposed and will
require Agency assistance are the Garden Springs Apartments and Las Vegas Road
Apartments, both located in Merged Project Area No. 1 and Tahquitz Court Housing
and Sahara Mobile Home Park Improvements, both located outside either Merged
Project Area No. 1 or Merged Project Area No. 2.
Resolution No. 1382
Page 2
H. The four projects described in Findings F and G of this resolution, which
are proposed to be funded in part with an Agency subsidy from the Low and Moderate
Income Housing Fund, will result in the creation or preservation of 350 affordable units.
I. The creation or preservation of any of the 350 affordable units outside
Merged Project Area No. 1 will be of benefit to Merged Project Area No. 1 and the
community and that tax increment revenue deposited in the Low and Moderate Income
Housing Fund from Merged Project Area No. 1, which may be spent outside the
boundaries of Merged Project Area No. 1, is of benefit to Merged Project Area No. 1.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Community Redevelopment
Agency of the City of Palm Springs, as follows:
Section 1. Deposit. For Fiscal Year 2008-09, Merged Project Area No. 2 will
not make a deposit of tax increment revenue to the Low and Moderate Income Housing
Fund, such amounts to be allocated to and deposited from Merged Project Area No. 1
tax increment revenue.
Section 2. Budget and Appropriate. The Agency's 2008-09 budget is hereby
amended eliminate the Merged Project Area No. 2 deposit to the Low and Moderate
Income Housing Fund and to provide an offsetting increase of $1,548,000 in the
Merged Project Area No. 1 deposit to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund.
Section 3. Effective Date. This resolution shall take effect from and after the
date of approval and adoption thereof.

Health and Safety Code of the State of California (the "Law").
B Section 33685(a)(1) of the Law requires redevelopment agencies to make
a payment on or before May 10, 2009 to the county Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund-
C. The amount required by Section 33685(a)(1) of the Law to be paid by the
Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm Springs (the "Agency") is

E. Agency funds in its Debt Service and Capital Improvement Funds have
been earmarked for existing bonded debt obligations, payment under development
agreements and payments under property acquisition agreements with the City.
F. In addition to its bonded indebtedness and tax sharing obligations, the
Agency has obligations relating to the Springs development (remediation costs) as well
as the College of the Desert campus.
G. If the Agency does not reserve the balance of its currently available funds
to secure the payments due under the agreements with the City, the City's ability to

COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY RESOLUTION NO. 1390
A JOINT RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF
PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY
ATTORNEY/AGENCY LEGAL COUNSEL TO COOPERATE
WITH THE CALIFORNIA REDEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION,
THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES, AND OTHER CITIES
AND COUNTIES IN LITIGATION CHALLENGING THE
CONSTITUTIONALITY OF ANY SEIZURE BY STATE
GOVERNMENT OF REDEVELOPMENT FUNDS.
The City Council of the City of Palm Springs finds:
A. The current economic crisis has placed cities under incredible financial
pressure and caused them to make painful budget cuts, including layoffs and furloughs
of city workers, decreasing maintenance and operations of public facilities, and
reductions in direct services to keep spending in line with declining revenues.
B. Since the early 1990s the state government has seized $1.04 billion of
redevelopment tax increment statewide, and the Governor and Legislature are now
considering seizing $350 million each year for three years, beginning in fiscal year
2008 09; and
C. On April 30, 2009, in the case of CRA v. Genest, the Sacramento Superior
Court found similar efforts by the State to seize redevelopment tax increment for the
state general fund to be in direct violation of Article XVI, Section 16 of the State
Constitution, added by the voters in 1952 as Proposition 18, which requires that tax
increment be used exclusively for the benefit of redevelopment project areas.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
SECTION 1. The City Council and the Community Redevelopment Agency of the
City of Palm Springs hereby directs the City Attorney/Agency Legal Counsel to take all
necessary steps to cooperate with the California Redevelopment Association, the
League of California Cities, other cities, counties and redevelopment agencies in
supporting litigation against the state of California if the Legislature enacts and the
Governor signs into law legislation that unconstitutionally diverts redevelopment tax
increment_
SECTION 2. The City Manager/Redevelopment Agency Executive Director shall
send this resolution to the Governor and each of the City's state legislators, informing
them in the clearest of terms of the City's adamant resolve to oppose any effort to
frustrate the will of the electorate as expressed in Article XVI, Section 16 of the
City Council Resolution No. 22540
CRA Resolution No. 1390

California Constitution concerning the proper use and allocation of redevelopment tax
increment; and
SECTION 3_ A copy of this Resolution shall be sent by the City
Manager/Redevelopment Agency Executive Director to the California Redevelopment
Association, the League of California Cities, and other community groups whose
members are affected by this proposal to divert redevelopment funds from vital local
projects.

WHEREAS, the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm Springs (the
"Agency") has two project areas, namely, Merged Project Area No. 1 and Merged
Project Area No. 2, and the Redevelopment Plans for Merged Project Area No. 1 and
No. 2 recognize that the provision of low and moderate income housing outside of the
merged project areas will be of benefit to the merged;
WHEREAS, Section 33334.3(i) of the Health and Safety Code of the State of California
(the "Law") provides that redevelopment agencies with more than one project area may
satisfy the requirements of Sections 33334.2 and 33334.6 of the Law by allocating, in
any fiscal year, less than 20 percent in one project area, if the difference between the
amount allocated and the 20 percent required is instead allocated, in that same fiscal
year, to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund from tax increment revenues
from other project areas;
WHEREAS, for the fiscal year 2009-10, the Agency desires to satisfy the requirement
to deposit 20 percent of tax increment funds from Merged Project Area No. 2 to the Low
and Moderate Income Housing Fund by depositing the required amount from tax
increment revenues from Merged Project Area No. 1;
WHEREAS, prior to allocating additional funds from Merged Project Area No. 1 to the
Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund to satisfy the requirement to deposit such
amount from Merged Project Area No. 2 tax increment revenues, the Agency shall
make the finding that the use of the additional funds deposited will be of benefit to
Merged Project Area No. 1;

458 affordable housing units between 2004-05 and 2013-14, including 142 very-low

Resolution No. 1392
Page 2
WHEREAS, together, these four projects, which are proposed to be funded in part with
an Agency subsidy from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, will result in the
creation or preservation of 350 affordable units; and

boundaries of Merged Project Area No. 1, is of benefit to Merged Project Area No,1;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Community Redevelopment Agency of

INTRODUCTION
About this Implementation Plan
Every five years, redevelopment agencies are required to adopt an implementation plan for each
redevelopment project area that establishes five-year operational and financial work programs for
carrying out the redevelopment and affordable housing responsibilities of the agency. This Five Year
Implementation Plan ("Implementation Plan") for the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City
of Palm Springs ("Agency") covers the five-year planning period for fiscal years ("FY") 2009-10
through 2013-14 for the Merged Redevelopment Project Area Nos. 1 and 2 ("Project Areas"). This
Implementation Plan also contains an update to the Agency's Housing Compliance Plan ("Housing
Compliance Plan") for meeting the Agency's affordable housing requirements for the 10-year
compliance period (FY 2004-05 to 2013-14), including obligations for producing, replacing, and
expending funds for affordable housing.
Legal Authority
In 1993, the Legislature passed Assembly Bill 1290 (Chapter 942, Statutes of 1993), which enacted
the California Community Redevelopment Law Reform Act and made changes to state
redevelopment law (Health and Safety Code §33000 et seq.) ("CRL") in an effort to increase both
the effectiveness and accountability of redevelopment agencies. One notable statutory change was
the addition of Article 16.5 (§33490 et seq.) to the CRL, which required redevelopment agencies to
adopt five year implementation plans for all Project Areas on or before December 31, 1994, and every
five years thereafter. CRL §33490(a) requires that the Implementation Plan contain:
• The Agency's goals and objectives, programs, and projects within the Project Area for the
next five years, including estimated expenditures.
• An explanation of how the goals and objectives, programs, projects, and expenditures will
eliminate blight and promote affordable housing within the Project Area.
• A specific location that addresses the Agency's housing responsibilities, including the
Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund ("Housing Fund") and the Agency's
requirements for producing and replacing affordable housing.
Given these required contents, the Implementation Plan can naturally serve as more than just a
compliance document to adhere to the legal mandates of State law, The Implementation Plan
provides the Agency with an opportunity to thoughtfully craft a purposeful and deliberate strategy
for the next five years.

ABOUT THE PROJECT AREAS
Who, What, Where, When, and Why
The City of Palm Springs ("City") was established in 1938, Palm Springs lies on the western edge of
the Coachella Valley, within the ecological area known as the Colorado Desert. The City is located in
central Riverside County, approximately 107 miles east of Los Angeles. Palm Springs covers a
geographical area of 96 square miles with well-established neighborhoods. Non-native settlers first
arrived after a Southern Pacific Railroad line was completed in 1877 which traveled through the
desert to the Pacific Ocean. The town flourished after World War II, experiencing rapid development
in housing and business. In the 1870's, nearly 32,000 acres of land was transferred to the Agua
Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians and allotted in the 1950's. As a result of this land transfer, the city
developed in a checkerboard pattern, a pattern of growth that is still evident today.
In 1972 the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm Springs was created to address
conditions of physical and economic blight in selected portions of the city, beginning with the
Central Business District in 1973. Over an 18 year period, a total of ten redevelopment areas
throughout the city were established encompassing 3,079 acres, which were later merged into two
project areas, Merged Redevelopment Project Area Nos. 1 and 2 ("Project Areas"). Divided generally
between areas where tribal lands existed, seven of the original project areas were placed into
Merged Project Area No. 1 and the remaining three project areas with tribal lands were placed into
Project Area No. 2.
The Redevelopment Plans for the Project Areas set forth time limitations with regard to collecting
tax increment revenue and plan effectiveness. The following Table 1 presents the current time limits
contained in the Redevelopment Plans.

Housing Compliance Plan FY MERGED REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT I AREA NOS. 1 & 2
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAM COMPLIANCE OBJECTIVES
Ten Year outlook of Affordable Housing
The CRL requires all redevelopment agencies to prepare and adopt affordable housing compliance
plans on a ten year cycle, with updates corresponding with adoption of their five year
implementation plans. The housing compliance plan must identify how a redevelopment agency will
achieve the affordable housing production requirements for its redevelopment project area. The
housing compliance plan must be consistent with the jurisdiction's housing element and must also be
reviewed and, if necessary amended at least every five years in conjunction with the cyclical
preparation of the housing element or the agency's five-year implementation plan.
This section of the Implementation Plan, referred to as the "Housing Compliance Plan", addresses
specific requirements in the CRL with respect to prior affordable housing activities and the
anticipated housing program for the current ten-year period (FY 2004-05 to 2013-14) ("Compliance
Period"), The Housing Compliance Plan amends the Affordable Housing Compliance Plan adopted in
2007 and presents an updated affordable housing plan through the duration of the Compliance
Period. Additionally, the Housing Compliance Plan evaluates the Agency's affordable housing
requirements for the next ten years (FY 2009-10 to 2018-19) and the life of the Redevelopment Plans.
Affordable housing production statistics here have been aggregated from Merged Project Area Nos.
1 and 2. Section 33413(b)(2)(A)(v) of the CRL permits an agency to aggregate affordable housing
production needs among project areas, if the Agency conducts a public hearing and finds that such
aggregation will not exacerbate racial, ethnic, or economic segregation.
Redevelopment agencies use implementation plans to establish ten year objectives to achieve
compliance with State law in its affordable housing programs. These housing goals generally fall into
three categories:
Housing Production - based on the number of housing units constructed or substantially
rehabilitated over a ten year period, a redevelopment agency is to ensure that a percentage of these
units are affordable to low and moderate income households.
Replacement Housing, - another legal obligation for redevelopment agencies to ensure that any
housing units destroyed or removed as a result of an agency redevelopment project are replaced
within four years.
Expenditures by—Household Types - specific requirements on the amount of housing set-aside funds
an agency must spend over a ten year period on housing affordable to very low income households,
low income households, and housing for residents under the age of 65.

This Housing Compliance Plan identifies all new residential construction or substantial rehabilitation
that has occurred within the Project Areas since adoption of the Plans in order to determine
affordable housing production needs. It accounts for past residential construction and substantial
rehabilitation, and includes projects of new dwelling units that may be constructed or substantially
rehabilitated during the current ten-year planning period which extends through June 30, 2014,
Table 2 below summarizes the Agency's past production activities including the first five years of the
current housing compliance period and identifies the projected production requirements for the
Compliance Period and over the life of the Redevelopment Plans. Historical construction and
substantial rehabilitation statistics were provided by the Agency. The number of affordable units
required is based on statutory thresholds, and the Agency is responsible for ensuring that the
appropriate number of affordable units is created during a ten year period.
It should be noted that neither the housing units nor projections for future dwelling units include any
units to be developed by the Agency. However, the Agency will continue to cooperate with and
provide assistance and incentives to private developers, in order to fulfill the Agency's affordable
housing production requirements.
Pursuant to Section 33413(b) of the CRL not less than 15 percent of the units produced by persons or
entities other than the Agency must be affordable to low and moderate income households. Not less
than 40 percent of the required affordable units must be restricted for very law income households.
The Agency's affordable housing production requirements are indicated in Table 2 below. In
addition, to satisfy the Agency's production requirements, new or substantially rehabilitated units
must have recorded 45-year income restrictions or covenants for rental units and 55-year income
restrictions or covenants for owner-occupied units. The affordable housing units may be
constructed inside or outside of the Project Areas, but units outside the Project Areas may only be
counted on a 2-for-1 basis. The Agency may also purchase affordability covenants on very-low or
low-income multifamily units.

During the last 10-year Compliance Period (FY 1994-95 to 2003-04). the Agency was required to
generate 217 affordable units of which 87 units needed to be restricted for very low income
households. During this time 168 affordable units were produced of which 126 units were restricted
for very low income households. There was a surplus of 131 affordable units and 67 very low units
produced prior to 1994. The surplus of affordable units in a 10-year period may be applied against
the unit production requirements during the following ten-year compliance period. Therefore, the
Agency ended this 10-year Compliance Period with a surplus of 82 affordable units and a surplus of
107 units restricted for very low income households.
During the first five years of the current Compliance Period (FY 2004-05 through 2008-09), 897
units were produced in the Project Areas. As indicated in Table 2, the Agency was required to
produce 135 affordable units and 54 very low income units. During this five year period, 127
affordable units were produced with 97 units restricted for very low income households.
During the next five years of the current Compliance Period (FY 2009-10 through 2013-14) the Palm
Springs Department of Planning Services anticipates 1,659 units to be produced in the Project Areas.
This forecast includes market-rate and affordable projects that are currently under review by staff or
have been approved and/or are under construction. Due to the downturn of the economy, many of
the forecasted units are on hold and staff is uncertain whether all of these units will be produced in
the next five to ten years. The Agency will continue to monitor the production of these units. If the
actual production of units decreases from that of what is being forecasted, the number of affordable
units and units restricted for very low Incomes will decrease.
Based on the 1,659 units anticipated to be produced over the next five years, 249 units would need
to be affordable with 100 of these units affordable to very low income households. Fulfillment of the
projected housing needs is anticipated to be accomplished through completion of the Indian
Canyon/San Rafael project, Vista San Jacinto Apartments, and CVHC Rosa Gardens Apartments,
which would yield 181 affordable units, including 130 units restricted for very low income households.
The Agency will continue to pursue residential construction and revitalization opportunities, in an
effort to address the identified affordable housing projection needs.

Replacement Housing Needs
The CRL requires that whenever dwelling units that house low and moderate income households are
destroyed as part of an Agency project, the Agency is responsible for ensuring that an equivalent
number of replacement units are constructed or substantially rehabilitated. These units must provide
at least the same number of bedrooms destroyed, and 100 percent of the replacement units must be
affordable to the same income categories (i.e. very low, low, moderate) as those removed. The
Agency receives full credit for replacement units created inside or outside of the Project Areas.
According to Agency staff, no units have been destroyed by Agency activities. Additionally, no units
are expected to be destroyed or removed as a part of an Agency project during the planning period
or over the life of the Redevelopment Plans.
Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund
The Agency's primary source of funding for housing projects and programs is the annual deposit of
the 20 percent of its tax increment revenue into the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund
("Housing Fund"). The CRL requires that these funds be used to increase, improve, and preserve the
community's supply of affordable housing available to persons and families of very low, low, and
moderate incomes.
Beginning July 1, 2009, the Agency had a Housing Fund balance of approximately $14,359,672.
Projected annual housing set aside deposits from both Project Areas are anticipated to total
approximately $18,830,165 over the next five years, exclusive of existing obligations and potential
losses due to the State's proposed taking of redevelopment funds in the 2009-10 and 2010-11 fiscal
years.
Due to the State's effort to balance the FY 2009-10 State Budget, the legislators and the Governor
approved budget bill ABX4-26 which
authorizes $2.05 billion from local Table 4: Estimated Deposits of Housing Funds

The Agency may utilize these provisions of

a lawsuit challenging the SERAF payments in October 2009 The Agency will be monitoring this
case to determine whether the payments will continue to be required.
Targeting of Housing Fund Expenditures
Effective January 2002, expenditure of housing set-aside revenues is subject to certain legal
requirements. At a minimum, the Agency's low and moderate income housing set-aside ("Housing
Fund") revenue is to be expended in proportion to the community's need for very law and low
income housing, as well as the proportion of the low income population under the age of 65. New
legal requirements took effect on January 1, 2006 that modified the previous limitations of spending
24
Housing Compliance Plan IFY 2009-10 through MERGED REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA NOS. I & 2
Housing Fund monies on households under the age of 65 Section 333344(b) of the CRL used to
require that an agency spend its Housing Fund monies "in at least the same proportion as the low-
income population under age 65 bears to the most recent census." The new language provides a
higher level of specificity to spend "in at least the same proportion as the number of low-income
households with a member under age 65 bears to the total number of low-income households of the
community as reported in the most recent census."
The percentage of very low and low income household expenditure requirements are based on
Southern California Association of Governments ("SCAG") Regional Housing Needs Assessment
("RHNA") requirements for the City of Palm Springs for the planning period of January 1, 2006
through June 30, 2014, The percentage of low income households under the age of 65 is based on
Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy ("CHAS") reports of 2000 Census data as required by
$B 527 adopted in 2005. Table 5 below presents the Agency's requirements from January 1, 2002 to
June 30, 2014, based on the requirements from the two time periods.

Notes:
Prior to January 1, 2006, percentage targets for households under age
65 were based on total households, not just low income households.
Prior to January 1, 2006, the breakdown of the City's Regional Housing
Needs Assessment fair share goals included 25.5 percent to very low
income households and 17.3 percent to low income households
2 Effective January 1, 2006, AB 527 (Alquist) enacted a change to how
expenditure targets to households under age 65 should be determined,
specifically to limit the percentage to low income households in the
community. As a result, the targets changed in 2006 However,
because such data is not available directly from the Census, common
practice is to use data for households under the age of 65 as reported
in the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy ("CHAS").
(http•//socds.org/chax/index.htm)

(73.8 percent) are under age 65. (www,census.gov)

Between 2002 through 2005, Agency expenditures on non-senior housing were expected to be

expenditures beginning in 2006 is 72.3 percent of total Housing Fund expenditures Over the last

Housing Set-Aside Expenditures
The proportionality requirements affect expenditures over a ten year period, although the law
permits the compliance initially for a period beginning in January 2002 and ending in December
2014. The table below documents the amount of low and moderate income housing fund revenue
used since January 2002 for these income categories and households under age 65:

and estimated housing fund expenditures
As Table 6 demonstrates, the Agency has expended $8,164,560 of Housing Fund monies between FY
2001-02 through 2008-09. During the next five years, FY 2009-10 through 2013-14, the Agency
anticipates expending $4,240,000 on the Indian Canyon/San Rafael project, Vista San Jacinto
Apartments, and CVHC Rosa Gardens Apartments, for very low and moderate income households
and households under age 65. Based on these previous and anticipated expenditures, the Agency
will have complied with and exceeded proportional spending targets for very low income households
and households under the age of 65. The Agency continues to plan for more projects and programs,
and intends to expend additional Housing Fund monies on projects and programs for low income
households to comply with proportional spending targets.
Family Units Assisted by Housing Set-Aside Fund
State law also requires a recap of affordable housing projects for families (households under the age
of 65) assisted by the housing set-aside fund over the past implementation plan period. The table
below summarizes these statistics by project from FY 2001-02 through 2008-09.
