(a)  The cost of development of any common portions of the development shall be allocated to the fund in the same ratio as the ratio between assisted and nonassisted units in the community housing development.

(b)  Not more than 50 percent of the cost of the child care center and related play area shall be paid for from the account, notwithstanding the ratio between assisted and nonassisted units. However, if the department finds that sufficient funding is not available to pay for the remainder of the cost, the department may pay for the balance needed from the account.

(c)  The department shall develop an inflation index reflecting the annual anticipated changes in rental housing development operating costs from a base year. The inflation index shall be used by the sponsor to adjust the initial rent of each unit occupied by an eligible household to determine the annual rent. Any sponsor may appeal to the department for a greater adjustment in rents necessary to ensure the fiscal integrity of the rental housing development. If the department does not respond within 60 days, the request shall be deemed approved. A 30-day written notice shall be given to each eligible household prior to an adjustment in the amount of rent.

(d)  The department annually may approve a reduction in the number of assisted units to less than the number agreed upon, or less than 30 percent, only if the department determines that it is necessary to maintain the fiscal integrity of the development. If the number of units occupied by eligible households in the community housing development ever falls below the number agreed to by the department and sponsor, then the next units which become available for occupancy shall be made available on a priority basis to eligible households, as required, until the number of units so occupied equals at least the number specified in the agreement.
