<br /> AUTHORITY, PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF WORK
<br /> 1. Authority
<br /> This Standard Agreement along with all its exhibits (hereinafter collectively "the
<br /> Agreement") is being entered into pursuant to the CalHome Program (the "Program")
<br /> (Chapter 6 of Part 2 of Division 31 of the Health and Safety Code, commencing with
<br /> section 50650 (the "Statute")), and the CalHome Program Final Guidelines, as found on
<br /> HCD's website, dated December 12, 2024, as amended and in effect from time to time,
<br /> (the "CalHome Guidelines" or "Guidelines").
<br /> Chapter 365, Statues 2017 (SB 3), adopted by voters on November 6, 2018, as
<br /> Proposition 1, provides additional funding and authority for CalHome. Health & Safety
<br /> Code, section 54014, subdivision (b) gives HCD authority to implement Proposition 1
<br /> funds by utilizing Guidelines. Pursuant to subdivision (b), such Guidelines are exempted
<br /> from the requirements of the California Administrative Procedures Act (Chapter 3.5 of
<br /> Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2, commencing with § 11340 of the Government Code) and
<br /> pursuant thereto, the CalHome Guidelines were adopted. In addition, Chapter 159,
<br /> Statutes of 2019, Section 34 (Assembly Bill [AB] 101), effective June 27, 2019, allows
<br /> CalHome funds to serve households that are victims of a disaster up to 120 percent of
<br /> Area Median Income (AMI). AB 101 also allows the CalHome Program to fund the
<br /> construction, repair, reconstruction, or rehabilitation of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
<br /> or Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs).
<br /> The Guidelines were amended on December 30, 2022, to implement Assembly Bill (AB)
<br /> 434 (Chapter 192, Statutes of 2020), which amended H.S.C. §50517.5. AB 434 required
