California Debt Limit Allocation Committee

About CDLAC

Program Areas

Federal law limits how much tax-exempt debt a state can issue in a calendar year for Private Projects with a Qualified Public Benefit, with the cap determined by a population-based formula. CDLAC was created to set and allocate California’s annual debt ceiling, and administer the tax-exempt bond program to issue the debt.

Allocation is distributed among seven program areas. The Qualified Residential Rental Project Program assists developers of multifamily rental housing units, the Single-Family First-Time Homebuyer Program assists first-time homebuyers with their home purchase, the Home Improvement and Rehabilitation Program assists in the financing of alterations to an existing residence and/or assist in the financing of the acquisition of a recently rehabilitated property, the Exempt Facility Program helps finance water, solid waste disposal and waste recycling facilities; and the Industrial Development Bond Project Program helps construct or expand manufacturing facilities, and/or purchase new equipment.

Additionally, CDLAC allocates, if needed, to the Extra Credit Home Purchase Program, which helps teachers and school staff purchase a home and the Student Loan Program to help students and families pay for their higher education.
