Certain uses, including churches/religious institutions, and affordable housing projects, are deemed exempt from some or all fees, pursuant to the PMC. And, in other cases, the PMC recognizes there may be variation in the employment density (and thus demand for housing) of projects across a particular land use category and provides a process whereby the City Council can approve modifications or reductions of the typical fee. Since fiscal year 1990, the City has collected approximately $27 million in LIHFs from new development. Expenditure of these funds has principally been to facilitate loans to private developers, individuals, and corporations for the development of affordable housing. More specifically, the city spends the LIHF on affordable housing -related activities/programs, such as: Administration of a "rapid re -housing program" that provides diminishing rental subsidies to income eligible households that help them become self-sufficient after 12 months. - Legal eviction services - Homeless intervention services (e.g., motel vouchers, security deposits) Independence -nurturing services for clients with developmental/physical disabilities - Housing counseling services for both tenants and landlords - Housing rehabilitation program (grants and loans) Maintenance of Tri -Valley REACH's single-family homes that provide housing for residents with developmental disabilities Housing Element Update, P21-0751 4of13 Planning Commission
