SB 2126 (Greene):
At the state level there has been no substantial appropriation of new money for housing

maintenance level. The County and several cities in the County have utilized one or more
of those programs including the Rental Housing Construction Program, and the Deferred
Payment Rehabilitation Loan Program. SB 2126 would provide a two year General Fund
appropriation of $120 million for housing programs which have proven track records and
leverage substantial sums of other private and public housing resources. The following
programs would be included:

SB 2108 (Marks): Existing law allows the California Housing Finance Agency (CHFA) to
insure loans for multi-family rental developments. Existing law does not explicitly allow
for CHFA to provide the insurance to rental developments being financed through the
issuance of local revenue bonds under AB 665. SB 2108 would provide CHFA to insure
loans being made through local bond issues. The provision of insurance through CHFA
would provide issuers and developers with an additional source of credit enhancement to
be used in conjunction with rental developments.
SB 2161 (Mello): One means of providing additional affordable rental housing in a cost
effective manner is through the use of second units (granny flats, mother-in-law units).
Approved in the 1982-83 legislative session was a bill - SB 1534 (Mello) - that requires
cities and counties to allow second units in residential districts. The County has been
accepting applications for second units under provisions of the Mello bill since July 1,
1983. To some extent the creation of second units under this law has been inhibited
because of the high cost of financing the improvements/construction. SB 2161 would
authorize CHFA to develop a program for financing second units using revenue bond
proceeds or such other funds as might be available to CHFA.
