Read the full statutory text
“Housing development,” for the purpose of housing assisted by the department, means any work or undertaking of new construction or rehabilitation, or the acquisition of existing residential structures in good condition, for the provision of housing that is financed pursuant to the provisions of this division for the primary purpose of providing decent, safe, and sanitary housing for persons and families of low or moderate income. “Housing development” also means housing financed pursuant to this part for rental occupancy of, for resale to, or sold to, persons and families of low or moderate income. Notwithstanding other provisions of this section, “housing development” does not include a work or undertaking financed by a neighborhood improvement loan. A housing development may include housing for other economic groups as part of an overall plan to develop new or rehabilitated communities or neighborhoods, where housing for persons and families of low or moderate income is a primary goal. A housing development may include any buildings, land, equipment, facilities, or other real or personal property that the agency determines pursuant to its rules and regulations to be necessary or convenient in connection with the provision of housing pursuant to this division, including, but not limited to, streets, sewers, utilities, parks, site preparation, landscaping, and other nonhousing facilities, such as administrative, community, health, recreational, educational, commercial facilities, and child-care facilities that the agency determines are an integral part of a housing development or developments. “Housing development” includes the acquisition of a residential structure by a nonprofit housing sponsor, whether or not including rehabilitation, for the purpose of forming a limited-equity housing cooperative as defined in Section 817 of the Civil Code.
