	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1522, as introduced, V. Manuel Perez. Housing and Emergency
Shelter Trust Fund Act of 2006: priority consideration.
   Under existing law, the Housing and Emergency Shelter Trust Fund
Act of 2006 authorizes the issuance of bonds in the amount of
$2,850,000,000 pursuant to the State General Obligation Bond Law.
Proceeds from the sale of these bonds are used to finance, among
other things, various existing housing programs. Existing law
requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to
administer the funds allocated to certain housing programs and
annually report the allocation of those funds.
   This bill would require the department, in administering the
expense of funds for specified housing programs, to give priority
funding consideration to developers who work with organizations that
provide training for at-risk youth.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 53545.5 is added to the Health and Safety Code,
to read:
   53545.5.  The Department of Housing and Community Development, in
administering the expense of funds for housing programs specified in
Section 53545, shall give priority funding consideration to
developers who work with organizations that provide training for
at-risk youth.
