Section 50154.

The California Housing Finance Agency, within the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency, is a primary agency in the implementation of state housing policy. The agency's role is to make financing opportunities available for the construction, rehabilitation, and purchase of housing for persons and families of low or moderate income by (a) borrowing in the securities markets and relending to housing sponsors, developers, and homeowners and (b) insuring loans made by the agency or by others for the same purposes. In general, the agency pays for its operations out of the excess of its interest revenue from loan repayments over the cost of the money it borrows or, in the case of insurance, by the excess of fees charged for the provision of insurance over the value of claims paid. The agency shall seek to implement the goals, policies, and objectives of the California Statewide Housing Plan and shall annually report on its progress toward compliance with priorities in the California Statewide Housing Plan.
