AI Summary

  • Changes the Housing-Related Parks Program to award grants based on building permits issued for new or substantially rehabilitated affordable housing units, rather than housing starts criteria.

  • Establishes per-bedroom incentive grant amounts for units restricted as affordable to very low or low-income households, with minimum qualification threshold of $75,000 per jurisdiction.

  • Provides substantial bonus funds for projects serving disadvantaged communities, park-deficient communities, and qualifying new housing units; additional bonuses for extremely low-income units, infill projects, and jurisdictions exceeding housing production thresholds.

  • Requires jurisdictions to have adopted compliant housing elements and submitted annual progress reports to qualify for grants.

  • Allows grant recipients to subcontract with recreation districts or nonprofit conservation organizations, and requires grant funds to supplement rather than replace other available funding.
