Redevelopment Agencies

Health and Safety Code Sections 33080–33080.7 prescribe redevelopment agency (RDA) reporting requirements to HCD and the State Controller's Office (SCO). The SCO, pursuant to Government Code Section 53895, is required to assess agencies a penalty (up to $10,000) for failing to submit within six months of the end of the agency's fiscal year either: (1) HCD's report or the SCO's report and/or (2) two copies of the agency's independent audit report (SCO sends HCD 2nd report). To avoid penalty, agencies should timely complete their report using HCD's electronic web-based system or submit paper forms (Schedules A-E) to HCD. If submitting paper forms to HCD (address is below), agencies should also send to the State Controller (address is below) a copy of the 1 page "HCD Cover" with 2 copies of the agency's annual audit report.

Important Information Regarding Annual Redevelopment Financial Reporting on Housing Activities (FYs 2007-08 and 2006-07)

Health and Safety Code (H&SC) Section 33080 et seq., requires redevelopment agencies to annually report specific information to the Department of Housing and Community Development (Department) on use of the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund (Low-Mod Fund) to increase, improve, and preserve the supply of affordable housing. The Department is statutorily mandated to annually compile and publish statewide information on redevelopment agencies’ housing funds and activities.

The Department has met this reporting obligation through publication of its annual Housing Activities of California Redevelopment Agencies Report which included analyses of activities statewide and highlights of program and project achievements. However, due to budgetary and staffing constraints, data for Fiscal Years (FY) 2006-07 and 2007-08 will be provided through on-line access to the Exhibits generated from each agency’s annual report.

Data, including links to all required Exhibits, detailing both financial and housing activities for FYs 2006-207 and 2007-08, is available on the Department's website as follows:

• FY 2007–2008
• FY 2006–2007
