subject to the terms and conditions of the statute and the CalHome Program Regulations adopted by
HCD in April 2004. Staff recommends submitting an application to obtain from HCD an allocation of
CalHome funds in the amount of $1,000,000 for existing homeownership programs aimed at assisting
low- and very low-income households. The City has not applied for CalHorne funds before.
