University of California (UC) currently offers home loans to faculty and managers. This measure requires UC to provide no-interest 20% downpayment loans to non-faculty, non-managerial staff who are first-time homeowners with five years’ experience working for UC. No monthly payments required; staff must repay loan—plus 20% of any increase in home’s value—when home is sold or refinanced. Requires 75% of loans be made available to staff with household incomes at or below area median income. Prohibits using taxpayer funds, tuition, or General Fund to fund loans. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local governments: Costs to the University of California of about $30 million annually the first few years to provide new home loans, with annual costs decreasing over a few decades as loans are repaid. (25-0018A1)
Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local governments: One-time state and local government costs in the tens of millions of dollars to prepare for implementation of the measure. Increased annual state and local government costs potentially ranging in the tens of millions of dollars to the low hundreds of millions of dollars to fulfill new requirements related to elections administration.
