WELCOME YOU ALL TO OUR SECOND
ASSEMBLY, HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE HEARING
FOR FRIDAY, AUGUST 30TH. WE HAVE
TWO ITEMS ON THIS AGENDA TODAY.
EACH BILL CAN HAVE TWO MAIN
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT AND
OPPOSITION, AND EACH MAIN
WITNESS CAN GET UP TO TWO
MINUTES EACH AS WELL. I INVITE
YOU TO FEEL FREE TO SUBMIT
WRITTEN TESTIMONY THROUGH THE
OPPOSITION PORTAL ON THE
COMMITTEE'S WEBSITE. THIS WILL
BECOME A PART OF THE OFFICIAL
RECORD OF THE BILL. THE HEARING
ROOM WILL BE OPEN FOR ATTENDANCE
OF THIS HEARING. AND THIS
MORNING. EXCUSE ME. THIS
AFTERNOON WE ARE IN ROOM 127 AT
THE CAPITOL. ALL ARE ENCOURAGED
TO WATCH THE HEARING FROM ITS
LIVE STREAM ON THE ASSEMBLY'S
WEBSITE. AND I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND
UNDERSTANDING. AS I SAID, WE
HAVE TWO ITEMS ON OUR AGENDA
TODAY. I BELIEVE THAT WE DO
HAVE. WE ARE JUST SHY OF ENOUGH
MEMBERS FOR A QUORUM. WE'LL
BEGIN AS A SUBCOMMITTEE AND I
SEE THAT MISS BONTA IS HERE FOR
ITEM NUMBER TWO. THIS IS AB 846.
WHEN YOU'RE READY, I INVITE YOU
TO PRESENT YOUR BILL. THANK YOU.
APPARENTLY, FIRST TO THE CHAIR.
SERVES A DAY. GOOD EVENING.
CHAIR AND MEMBERS. I DECIDED TO
AUTHOR AB 846 TO PROTECT LOW
INCOME RENTERS LIVING IN
PUBLICLY ASSISTED AFFORDABLE
HOUSING FROM SIGNIFICANT RENT
SPIKES. THE LOW INCOME HOUSING
TAX CREDIT PROGRAM, OR LIHTC, IS
A CRITICAL SOURCE OF FUNDING FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRODUCTION
AND REHABILITATION NATIONWIDE.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE WAY THE
FEDERAL LAW REGULATES RENTS FOR
LIHTC UNITS PROVIDES NO
ASSURANCES THAT A TENANT'S RENT
WILL REMAIN AFFORDABLE OVER
TIME. TENANTS HAVE TO INCOME
QUALIFY FOR LATECH UNITS AND
WILL PAY ANYWHERE BETWEEN 30% TO
40% OF THEIR INCOME AND RENT AT
THE START OF THEIR TENANCY AND
LIHTC PROPERTIES. THERE IS NO
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A TENANT'S
INCOME AND THEIR RENT. OVER
TIME, RENT INCREASES ARE SOLELY
TIED TO INCREASES IN AMI FOR THE
COUNTY IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS
LOCATED. LIHTC PROPERTY OWNERS
ARE FREE TO RAISE RENTS UP TO
THE NEW ALLOWABLE MAXIMUM
WHENEVER AMI RISES. THIS MEANS
THAT LIHTC TENANTS CAN FACE
UNPREDICTABLE AND OFTEN
UNMANAGEABLE HIGH RENT
INCREASES. DESPITE LIVING IN
AFFORDABLE HOUSING, THEY ARE NOT
LIVING IN HOUSING THEY CAN
AFFORD. THERE IS A SOLUTION TO
THIS PROBLEM. STATES CAN IMPOSE
ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON RENTS
IN LIHTC PROPERTIES, AND A
GROWING NUMBER OF STATES HAVE
TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THIS
AUTHORITY. THE TAX CREDIT
ALLOCATION COMMITTEE, TCAC,
WHICH OVERSEES THE LATECH
PROGRAM, RECENTLY ADOPTED
REGULATIONS THAT APPLY A RENT
CAP TO LIHTC PROPERTIES AS A
CONDITION OF GETTING NEW TAX
CREDITS. UNFORTUNATELY, TCAC DID
NOT BELIEVE IT HAD CLEAR
AUTHORITY TO APPLY THE NEW CAP
TO EXISTING PROPERTIES. THIS
LEAVES TENANTS IN A TENABLE
SITUATION WHERE EXISTING
PROPERTY THESE ARE INCREDIBLY
VULNERABLE TO HIGH RENT
INCREASES AND WE WANT TO AVOID
THAT. AB 846 PROVIDES THE
NECESSARY CLARITY BY DIRECTING
TCAC TO ESTABLISH A LIMIT ON
RENT INCREASES IN EXISTING LIGHT
TECH PROPERTIES IN CALIFORNIA BY
ASKING TCAC TO APPLY ITS
CAREFULLY CRAFTED NEW RENT CAP
REGULATIONS TO ALL EXISTING
LIGHT TECH PROPERTIES, IT
PROTECTS TENANTS AND GIVES
DEVELOPERS THE FLEXIBILITY THAT
THEY NEED. WITH ME TO SPEAK MORE
ON THIS BILL, I HAVE ANJA LAWLER
WITH THE CALIFORNIA RURAL LEGAL
ASSISTANCE FOUNDATION. GOOD
EVENING, MR. CHAIR AND MEMBERS.
ANJA LAWLER WITH SIERRA LAF.
THIS BILL HAS TAKEN QUITE A
JOURNEY SINCE IT WAS LAST HEARD
IN THIS COMMITTEE LAST APRIL, I
BELIEVE. BUT WE THINK WE ARE
CLOSE TO A SOLUTION ON THE ISSUE
OF RENT GOUGING AND LATEC
PROPERTIES. AS THE MEMBER SAID,
TCAC ADOPTED REGULATIONS IN THE
SPRING THAT APPLIED BASICALLY
WHAT HAD BEEN IN THE BILL AT
THAT POINT, THAT HAD BEEN
NEGOTIATED WITH STAKEHOLDERS,
WHICH IS THE SAME RENT CAP THAT
APPLIES IN MARKET RATE
PROPERTIES. IT'S 5% PLUS CPI OR
NO MORE THAN 10%. IT'S HOVERING
AROUND 9% RIGHT NOW. GIVEN WHERE
WE'RE AT WITH INFLATION. BUT TAX
ATTORNEYS WANTED A LITTLE BIT
MORE CLARITY THAT THEY COULD
APPLY IT TO THEIR ENTIRE
EXISTING PORTFOLIO, WHICH IS
WHERE MILLIONS OF TENANTS LIVE
TODAY. THIS BILL PROVIDES THAT.
IT DIRECTS THEM TO APPLY THAT
POLICY OR WHATEVER POLICY THEY
CHOOSE TO EXISTING PROPERTIES. I
WILL JUST SAY THAT WE CONTINUE
TO GET STORIES ON AN ALMOST
WEEKLY BASIS OF TENANTS
RECEIVING GARGANTUAN RENT
INCREASES IN LIHTC PROPERTIES,
INCLUDING, JUST TODAY, A STORY
IN CHICO OF LOW INCOME SENIORS
GETTING A 20% INCREASE. WE DON'T
THINK THIS IS WORKABLE FOR
ANYONE IN PARTICULARLY PEOPLE
LIVING IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING,
AND WE THINK THIS IS A GOOD
SOLUTION AND WE WOULD
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
AT THIS TIME, I THINK WE HAVE
ENOUGH MEMBERS. I'M GOING TO
ESTABLISH A QUORUM. MADAM
SECRETARY, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
WARD. PRESENT. WARD. HERE.
PATTERSON HARRISON. HERE.
GRAYSON. CHOLERA. HERE CHOLERA.
HERE. LEE. QUIRK-SILVA
QUIRK-SILVA. HERE. REYES
SANCHEZ. WILSON. HERE WE HAVE
QUORUM. WE HAVE A QUORUM. ARE
THERE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
HERE WHO ALSO WISH TO STATE A
POSITION OF SUPPORT? YOU CAN
APPROACH THE MICROPHONE OVER
HERE FOR NAMES, ORGANIZATIONS
AND YOUR POSITION. HI, MICHELLE
PERISSET WITH PUBLIC ADVOCATES.
WE'RE A PROUD CO-SPONSOR OF THIS
BILL AND URGE YOUR AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU. REBECCA GONZALEZ,
WESTERN CENTER ON LAW AND
POVERTY IN SUPPORT. THANK YOU.
ARE THERE ANY WITNESSES HERE ON
PRIMARY OPPOSITION WHO WISH TO
OFFER TESTIMONY? OKAY. SEEING
NONE, ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
HERE WHO WISH TO OFFER A
STATEMENT OF POSITION OF
OPPOSITION? OKAY. SEEING NONE,
WE'LL TURN IT BACK TO THE
MEMBERS ON THE DAIS. VICE CHAIR
PATTERSON. GREAT. THANK YOU. I
KNOW WE'RE ALL GOT A TON OF
ENERGY RIGHT NOW, SO. SO IN MY
COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW, LIGHT IS
OBVIOUSLY BEEN VERY INSTRUMENTAL
IN DEVELOPING ANY KIND OF
SUBSIDIZED HOUSING, YOU KNOW,
WITHIN JUST MY DISTRICT IN
GENERAL. AND SO I'M CONCERNED
ABOUT, UNDERSTAND, ACTUALLY, MY
MOM LIVES IN A LIGHT TECH
PROPERTY, IN A DIFFERENT
DISTRICT. AND SO, YOU KNOW,
OBVIOUSLY, I'M VERY CONCERNED
WITH RENT INCREASES, YOU KNOW,
ON HER. AND I HEAR ABOUT IT WHEN
THERE IS ONE EVERY YEAR. AND BUT
ALSO, I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT
THE DELIVERY OF UNITS. AND I
KNOW YOU ARE AS WELL, BUT I'M
CONCERNED THAT THIS BILL MIGHT
KIND OF IMPEDE THE ABILITY TO
DELIVER AFFORDABLE UNITS IN MY
DISTRICT. AND OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU
HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THAT, I'D
LOVE TO HEAR IT. I MEAN, I KNOW
YOU'RE TRYING TO DO FOR THE
POPULATION. I APPRECIATE THAT,
YOU KNOW, BUT ALSO I WANT TO SEE
MORE UNITS BUILT AT THE SAME
TIME. ASSEMBLY MEMBER PATTERSON,
JUST ONE THING TO NOTE IS THAT
THE AVERAGE LIHTC PROJECT IS
FINANCED WITH THE ASSUMPTION OF
3 TO 5% RENT GROWTH OVER TIME,
MOST OF THEM ARE FINANCED AT
3.5%. AND SO GIVEN THAT WE KNOW
THAT THESE PROJECTS CAN PENCIL
THROUGH THEIR LIFE WITH THAT
INCREASE, AND THIS POLICY WOULD
NOT ALLOW AN INCREASE OF BELOW
5%, WOULD NOT LIMIT IT FURTHER
THAN THAT. SO WE THINK IT'S
REALLY COMMON SENSE. IT'S WORKED
OUT SO FAR JUST FINE IN MARKET
RATE PROPERTIES THAT HAVE BEEN
SUBJECT TO THIS POLICY SINCE
2019. AND ALSO NOTE THAT THE
REGS THAT TCAC ADOPTED, WHICH
WERE WIDELY SUPPORTED, INCLUDING
BY TENANT ADVOCATES, INCLUDE A
PROVISION THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR A
WAIVER OF THE RENT CAP IF A
PROPERTY WAS IN FINANCIAL
DISTRESS, BECAUSE WE OBVIOUSLY
DON'T WANT THESE PROPERTIES TO
GO UNDER, SO THERE ARE SOME
SAFEGUARDS IN PLACE TO MAKE SURE
THAT, A PROJECT IS GOING TO BE
ABLE TO GET THE RENT INCREASES
IT NEEDS TO REMAIN SOLVENT.
I MEAN, YEAH, I GUESS JUST I
THINK JUST MY OVERALL CONCERN
IS, IS JUST THE ABILITY TO
DELIVER UNITS IN THE FIRST
PLACE, BECAUSE, I MEAN, THE
PROGRAMS THAT I KNOW OF IN MY
DISTRICT ALL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THIS. AND I KNOW THE FINANCING
ALREADY IS SO COMPLICATED. I
DON'T, YOU KNOW, IT'S AND THAT'S
A BAD THING. RIGHT. BUT ALSO AT
THE SAME TIME, YOU KNOW, I JUST
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY
CONTINUE TO BE BUILT IS I'M SURE
YOU DO AS WELL. SO THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MR. VICE CHAIR.
SEEING NO OTHER MEMBERS WISHING
TO ASK A QUESTION OR OFFER
COMMENT, I JUST WANTED TO SAY I
WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR FOR HER
WORK ON THIS ISSUE FOR ALMOST
TWO YEARS, I DO BELIEVE THAT THE
TCAC REGULATIONS DO STRIKE A
GOOD BALANCE BETWEEN PROVIDING A
LOT OF WAIVER OPPORTUNITIES FOR
SITUATIONS WHERE AN AFFORDABLE
HOUSING PROVIDER DOES NEED, DOES
NOT NEED TO EXCEED THE CAP, BUT
ALSO BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO
EXTEND SOME OF THOSE PROTECTIONS
TO THE CAP, TO RESIDENTS OF
EXISTING DEVELOPMENTS. AS YOU'RE
DOING HERE. SO I'M HAPPY TO
SUPPORT THIS BILL. I'D ENTERTAIN
A MOTION FOR THE BILL AND INVITE
YOU TO CLOSE. WE HAVE WE HAVE A
MOTION AND A SECOND INVITE YOU
TO CLOSE. RESPECTFULLY REQUEST
YOUR AYE VOTE. THANK YOU FOR THE
THANK YOU, MADAM SECRETARY.
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL, THE ACTION
IS THAT SENATE AMENDMENTS BE
CONCURRED IN WORLD WAR I. PERSON
NO. PERSON. NO. GRAYSON. CHOLERA
CHOLERA. I, LEE QUIRK-SILVA.

THANK YOU. AND BACK TO ITEM
NUMBER ONE. THIS IS ASSEMBLY
BILL 590 800. GREAT ASSEMBLY
MEMBER WICKS, WHEN YOU ARE
READY, YOU MAY GO AHEAD AND
BEGIN WITH YOUR PRESENTATION.
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. MEMBERS, I
AM HERE TO PRESENT AB 598, WHEN
THIS CAME TO THE ASSEMBLY THE
FIRST TIME, IT WAS A SEX ED BILL
THAT WENT THROUGH THE EDUCATION
COMMITTEE. IT IS NO LONGER THAT,
IN THE SENATE, WE AMENDED IT TO
BE A CLEANUP BILL IN
ANTICIPATION OF THE $20 BILLION
BOND THAT WAS PROPOSED FOR THE
NOVEMBER BALLOT. AND WHILE AS WE
KNOW, THE BAY AREA METROPOLITAN
METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION
COMMISSION AND THE ASSOCIATION
OF BAY AREA GOVERNMENTS RECENTLY
DECIDED TO REMOVE THE PROPOSED
BOND FROM THE BALLOT, SAD FACE.
THE INVOLVED PARTIES WANTED TO
GO AHEAD AND MAKE THIS CHANGE SO
THAT EVERYONE WAS ON BETTER
FOOTING. NEXT TIME. AS A
REMINDER, BOFFA IS THE BAY AREA
HOUSING FINANCE AUTHORITY, WHICH
IS AN ENTITY THAT IS GOVERNED BY
MTC AND ABAG, WHO ARE THE
SPONSORS OF THE BILL. THIS BILL
REFLECTS CONCERNS BY BARRIER
BUILDERS AND BUSINESS GROUPS
THAT BOFFA WOULD USE ITS MONEY
TO. THE MONEY IT RAISED TO
LEVERAGE CHANGES IN LAND USE
POLICY IN LOCAL JURISDICTIONS
THAT ARE TO RECEIVE THAT MONEY.
THAT IS NOT BOFA'S INTENTION AND
THIS BILL MAKES THAT VERY
EXPLICIT. BOFFA CANNOT LEVERAGE
ITS MONEY TO INFLUENCE LOCAL
LAND USE POLICY. THIS BILL IS
SUPPORTED BY THE BAY AREA
BUILDERS AND BUSINESS GROUPS, AS
WELL AS AFFORDABLE HOUSING
GROUPS AND SOCIAL JUSTICE GROUPS
THAT SPONSOR BOFFA AND HAS NO
OPPOSITION. AND IT GOT OUT OF
THE SENATE 40 TO 0. SO WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU. ALISON RAMEY
WITH CARTER WELSH AND ASSOCIATES
HERE TODAY ON BEHALF OF MTC ABAG
IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL, WE WANT
TO EXTEND OUR APPRECIATION TO
THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER FOR CARRYING
THIS MINOR CLARIFICATION AND ASK
FOR YOUR AYE VOTE. THANK YOU.
