DATE: April 1, 1986 Courty
SUBJECT: Legislation: Senate Bill 942 (Greene)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for SB 942 by Senator Leroy Greene.
BACKGROUND:
Existing law requires the State Department of Housing and
Community Development to establish a special user housing
rehabilitation program. This program makes deferred payment
loans to sponsors for the rehabilitation or acquisition of
residential structures for elderly or handicapped persons.
Existing law requires all of these units to be available for
occupancy by lower income households or very low-income
households.
Senator Leroy Greene has introduced SB 942 which, in addition,
would permit the State Department of Housing and Community
Development to make deferred payment loans for the rehabilitation
or acquisition of residential structures containing five ( 5) or
more dwelling. units if they are intended to be used by not less
than seven ( 7) or more than fifteen ( 15) homeless persons, or for
structures intended for use as a group home by not less than
seven ( 7) or more than fifteen ,( 15) homeless persons who suffer
from a mental disorder which makes the person eligible for
certain specified social service programs from a public agency.
The County' s Mental Health Director believes that passage of SB
942 may make it easier to obtain Board and Care operators willing
to accept mentally ill patients at reasonable rental rates.
SB 942 would appropriate $10 million to the State Department of
Housing and Community Development for the purpose of making
deferred payment loans for these purposes. Because of the
pressing need for more Board and Care homes willing to accept
mentally ill patients, the Mental Health Director recommends
support of SB 942 and this office concurs in that recommendation.
