§ 52532 First-Time Home Buyer Funding

Key Takeaways

  • •The state can take money from the General Fund if they haven’t sold enough bonds for first-time home buyers.
  • •This borrowed money must be paid back with interest, like when you borrow money from a friend and pay them extra later.
  • •The money is used to help first-time home buyers, and when they pay it back, it goes back to the state’s main money pot.

Example

Imagine the state promised to help 100 people buy their first homes, but they only sold enough bonds to help 70 people. They can borrow money from the General Fund to help the remaining 30 people.

The state takes money from its big savings account (General Fund) to cover the missing amount. When the first-time home buyers pay back their loans, that money goes back to the state’s savings account, plus a little extra (interest).

§ 52532 First-Time Home Buyer Funding

For the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this chapter, the Director of Finance may by executive order authorize the withdrawal from the General Fund of an amount or amounts not to exceed the amount of the unsold bonds which the committee has by resolution authorized to be sold for the purpose of carrying out this chapter. Any amounts withdrawn shall be deposited in the fund and shall be disbursed by the committee in accordance with this chapter. Any money made available under this section to the First-Time Home Buyers Fund shall be returned by the First-Time Home Buyers Fund to the General Fund from repayments received from the first-time home buyers. Such withdrawals from the General Fund shall be returned to the General Fund with interest at the rate which would have otherwise been earned by such sums in the Pooled Money Investment Fund. (Added by Stats. 1982, Ch. 320, Sec. 12. Approved in Proposition 5 at the November 2, 1982, election.)
