EIFDs and former RDAs, the proposed redevelopment
housing and infrastructure agencies would require a certain
percentage of all revenue to go toward affordable housing
projects. The current draft requires 30 percent, which is
more than what EIFDs and former RDAs were required to
set aside. 4. Unlike former RDAs, the stated intent is to
keep affected taxing entities (special districts and counties)
to the amount of property tax increment diverted from the
county and special districts. The passthrough is primarily
funded with ERAF dollars.
