Prior to the commitment of moneys under this part for a mortgage loan on a housing development as provided in Article 1 (commencing with Section 51100), Article 2 (commencing with Section 51125), Article 3 (commencing with Section 51150), and Article 4 (commencing with Section 51175), the agency shall take adequate measures to assure
(a)the economic feasibility of the housing development,
(b)the financial eligibility of the housing sponsors and tenants,
(c)the consistency of the proposed housing developement with the current housing objectives of the agency,
(d)the sufficiency of access of the housing development to supporting social services, public mass transit services and other transportation, schools, employment, and retail merchants, and
(e)that the location of the proposed housing development is consistent with the agency’s policies of dispersing housing developments throughout communities and of avoiding undue concentration of lower income households. Wherever possible, the agency shall verify these facts before financing is committed.
In providing for dispersal of housing developments, the agency shall consider economic feasibility, which shall be determined in light of all relevant factors, including the assistance programs and funds which could be utilized to reduce costs. Nothing in this section shall prohibit the agency from financing housing developments in neighborhood preservation areas in a manner that would otherwise be in conflict with the agency’s policies respecting dispersal of housing developments or concentration of lower income households, where necessary to accomplish the purposes for which financing or loan insurance is made available by the agency in the area.
