Cal. Gov't Code § 62117 — Replacement and Location

Whenever all or any portion of a revitalization plan area is developed with low- or moderate-income housing units and whenever any low- or moderate-income housing units are developed with any authority assistance or pursuant to Section 62120, the authority shall require in the recorded covenants for those units that the housing be made available for rent or purchase to the persons and families of low or moderate income displaced by the revitalization project. Those persons and families shall be given priority in renting or buying that in advance of marketing the units to the general public. Failure to give that priority shall not affect the validity of title to real property; however, a unit may not be counted as a replacement or production unit in the event of noncompliance with this provision. The authority shall keep a list of persons and families of low and moderate income displaced by the revitalization project who are to be given priority, and may establish reasonable rules for determining the order or priority on the list. The list shall be provided to the owner of those properties at or before any certificate of occupancy is issued.
