Targets for Housing to be Produced in the Next Ten Years As of 2004, Redevelopment law requires that LMHF be targeted in proportion to the unmet need according to (1) income and (2) families vs. seniors. The requirement targeting LMHF to low and very low income households has not changed. The percentages follow: • 22% of the units have to be for households earning less than 50% of Area Median Income. • 12% of the units have to be for households earning between SO-80% of Area Median Income. The LMHF targeting requirements for seniors under California Redevelopment Law (CRL) were revised in 200. CRL defines seniors as persons 65 years and older. Previously, the Agency could not expend more in LMHF on senior affordable housing than the percentage of seniors (as compared to the total population) in the City. Based on Census 2000, seniors represented 16% of the City population and, therefore, no more than 16% of LMHF during the Ten-Year Expenditure Plan period (2004-2014) could be spent on senior housing (as shown in Table 9 below). However, CRL Section 33334.4 was amended so that the LMHF spending (and consequently unit production cap) for affordable senior housing was based on the percentage of low income seniors (compared to the total low income population) in the City. According to Census 2000, there were 41% low income senior households in the City in comparison to the overall low income household population in the City. Thus, no more than 41% of LMHF-funded affordable housing units can be constructed for lower income seniors from 2004-2014 as shown in Table 9a below. Table 9.
