The WFH Program is administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD") for the purpose of providing local assistance to cities and counties that provide land use approval to housing developments affordable to very-Iow- and low-income households which are subject to a regulatory agreement recorded against the property that obligates the owner to maintain rents on the restricted units at an affordable level to very-low-or low-income household for at least fifty five (55) years, or for ownership housing units that are initially sold to very-Iow- or low-income households that ensure the repayment of the public funds and reuse of those funds for a period of at least twenty (20) years; C. The WFH Program funds must be used by cities and counties for the construction or acquisition of capital assets that serve to benefit the community including, but not limited to, traffic improvements, neighborhood parks, bike paths, libraries, community centers, and police and fire stations; D. Participating cities and counties must have general housing elements that conform with requirements of Article 10.6 of Chapter 3 of Division I of Title 7 of the Government Code (Government Code 65580 et sea.); and E. The City of Tustin wishes to apply for grant funds through the WFH Program as permitted under the law. F.
