If the Housing Successor fails to comply with the Tustin Housing Authority Page 5 Extremely -Low Income requirement in any five-year report, then the Housing Successor must ensure that at least 50% of the funds remaining in the LMIHAF be expended in each fiscal year following the latest fiscal year following the report on households earning 30% or less of the AMI until the Housing Successor demonstrates compliance with the Extremely -Low Income requirement.

If this percentage exceeds 50%, then the Housing Successor cannot expend future funds in the LMIHAF to assist additional senior housing units until the Housing Successor or City assists and construction has commenced on a number of restricted rental units that is equal to 50% of the total amount of deed -restricted rental units. The following provides the Housing Successor's Senior Housing Test for the 10 -year period of July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2016: Senior -2006 - 30, 201. # of Assisted Senior Rental Units 207 Heritage Place 54 Coventry Court 153 # of Total Assisted Rental Units 469 Amalfi 37 Anton Legacy 225 Senior Housing Percentage 44% XII.
