§ 50744 Substitute Payee Designation

Key Takeaways

  • •A local government or finance group can pick someone else to get money from a special fund for rental housing projects.
  • •They need to get permission from the state department first.
  • •The state will then send the money directly to the person they picked until they decide to stop.

Example

A city wants to build affordable apartments but doesn’t want to handle the money itself.

The city can ask the state to send the money straight to the company building the apartments instead. The state will do this if they agree, and the money will keep going to the company until the city or state says to stop.

Upon the approval of the department and the local finance entity or local public entity, the department shall make the authorized payments directly to the designated payee until the entity and the department agree to revoke or rescind the designation.
