Cal. Civ. Code § 5:11-8.3
Costs for planning and obtaining financing
Operative Text
Any Federal or State agency that is administering a Federal or State project or a Federal or State Assisted project may apply for a grant-in-aid to provide loans to nonprofit, limited dividend or cooperative organizations or to public bodies for the necessary and reasonable expenses, prior to construction, for planning and obtaining Federally insured mortgage financing for the rehabilitation or construction for displaced persons as set forth in N.J.S.A. 20:4-17. Any such grants-in-aid shall be repaid to the Department under the terms and conditions as set forth in N.J.S.A. 20:4-17.
Under N.J.A.C. § 5:11-8.3, federal or state agencies overseeing qualifying projects may seek grant-in-aid funds to help nonprofit, limited-dividend, cooperative organizations, or public bodies cover pre-construction costs—such as planning and securing federally insured mortgage financing—when housing is being rehabilitated or built for displaced persons. The provision ties this grant mechanism to the standards and repayment conditions established in N.J.S.A. 20:4-17, meaning any funds received must ultimately be returned to the Department under those terms. The rule creates a structured financial pathway intended to reduce upfront cost barriers for organizations serving displaced individuals.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating as nonprofit, limited-dividend, or cooperative entities involved in federally or state-assisted projects may find N.J.A.C. § 5:11-8.3 relevant when planning rehabilitation or new construction for displaced persons. Compliant operators in this context typically work through the administering federal or state agency to apply for grant-in-aid funds covering pre-construction planning and financing costs. Because any such grant carries repayment obligations under N.J.S.A. 20:4-17, operators generally document the terms carefully and plan for repayment to the Department from the outset.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
N.J.A.C. § 5:11-8.3 is primarily directed at agencies and organizations rather than individual tenants, but it is part of a broader framework under N.J.S.A. 20:4-17 that supports housing construction and rehabilitation for displaced persons. Tenants who have been displaced by a federal or state project may benefit indirectly from this provision, as it helps fund the planning stages of housing developed for people in their situation. Those seeking to understand their rights as displaced persons can consult tenant-rights organizations or contact the administering state agency for information about available housing resources under this framework.
