The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following:
(a) The Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-625) was enacted to reaffirm the long-established national commitment to decent, safe, and sanitary housing for every American.
(b) Title II of that law establishes the HOME Investment Partnership Act, otherwise referred to as HOME, to do all of the following:
(1) Expand the supply of decent, safe, and affordable housing with primary attention to low-income rental housing.
(2) Strengthen the abilities of states and local governments to design and implement affordable housing strategies.
(3) Provide both federal financial and technical assistance to support state and local efforts.
(c) HOME, as administered by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, allocates funds by formula among the eligible states and units of local government that shall use HOME funds to carry out multiyear housing strategies through acquisition, rehabilitation, and new construction of housing and tenant-based rental assistance.
(d) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this chapter to complement federal law and regulations by prescribing more precisely state priorities and procedures for expending the state’s allocation under the HOME program, providing technical assistance and coordination of HOME activities within the State of California, and maximizing and fully utilizing all financial resources for housing.
