Moneys in the Tribal Housing Grant Program Trust Fund shall not be subject to transfer to any other fund pursuant to any provision of Part 2 (commencing with Section 16300) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code, except to the Surplus Money Investment Fund.
(b)
Both of the following shall be paid and deposited in the fund:
(1)
Any moneys appropriated and made available by the Legislature through the annual Budget Act for purposes of the fund.
(2)
Ten percent of any moneys that will be appropriated and made available by the Legislature to the department through the annual Budget Act for the Multifamily Housing Program (Chapter 6.7 (commencing with Section 50675)), Infill Infrastructure Grant Program of 2019 (Part 12.5 (commencing with Section 53559)), Veterans Housing and Homeless Prevention Act of 2014 (Article 3.2 (commencing with Section 987.001) of Chapter 6 of Division 4 of the Military and Veterans Code), and Joe Serna, Jr. Farmworker Housing Grant Program (Chapter 3.2 (commencing with Section 50515.2)). The use of moneys deposited into the fund pursuant to this subdivision shall only be subject to this chapter, regardless of any other law governing the use of the balance of the funds appropriated to programs governed by this division.
(c)
Separate from the fund, and subject to appropriation by the Legislature, moneys
made available to the department through voter-approved bonds for the Multifamily Housing Program, Infill Infrastructure Grant Program of 2019, Veterans Housing and Homelessness Prevention Program, and Joe Serna, Jr. Farmworker Housing Grant Program may be made available as tribal set-asides in alignment with the eligible uses of those funds.

The department shall monitor the balance of the fund. When the department determines that sufficient moneys are available in the fund to allocate, the department shall allocate the moneys as follows:
(1)
Ninety-five percent of deposits into the fund
pursuant to subdivision (b)
shall be made available on an entitlement basis to the duly constituted governing body of a California-based federally recognized Indian reservation or rancheria in accordance with a formula allocation to be determined by the department. The formula shall be based on input and guidance from Indian tribes and the tribal housing grant program trust fund advisory committee, which may include, but not be limited to, a specific formula or factors to be used in a formula for allocation. Funds shall be provided in the form of multipurpose block grants for
eligible uses in support of housing and housing-related planning, program, project predevelopment, operating subsidies, staffing, and administrative activities as specified in this chapter.
(2)
Five percent of deposits into the fund shall be available for technical assistance to eligible tribes and tribally designated housing entities to build their capacity to independently plan, design, apply for, implement, and operate affordable housing programs and projects.
(e)
Recipients that receive an allocation pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (d) shall use no more than 20 percent of that allocation for costs related to the administration of funds received on an entitlement basis, unless the recipient receives approval by the department.
(f)
To receive moneys pursuant to this section, tribal governments shall do both of the following:
(1)
Annually submit a plan to the department detailing the way allocated funds will be used by the tribe in a manner consistent with this section.
(2)
Submit an annual report to the department that provides ongoing tracking of the uses and expenditures of any allocated funds.
(g)
The department shall ensure geographic equity in the distribution and
expenditure of funds allocated pursuant to this section.
(h)
In close consultation with California tribes and a tribal housing grant program trust fund advisory committee, the department shall adopt guidelines to implement this section, including determining allocation methodologies. Thereafter, the department may adopt, amend, or repeal guidelines for the administration and implementation of this chapter, in
consultation with California tribes and a tribal housing grant program trust fund advisory committee.
