Cal. Civ. Code § 0770-01-05-.09

(1) Where the Family Lives Now. The THDA may not base admission to the program on where
an applicant family lives before admission to the program, but the THDA may target
assistance for families who live in public housing or other federally assisted housing or adopt
residency preferences.

(2) Where the Family Will Live. The THDA may not base admission to the program on where an
applicant family will live, within the geographic region for a particular waiting list, with
assistance under the program.

(3) Family Characteristics. The preference system that the THDA develops may provide a
preference for admission of families from the waiting list that have certain characteristics, but
admission to the program may not be based on:

(a) Discrimination because members of the family are unwed parents, recipients of public
assistance, or children born out of wedlock;

(b) Discrimination because a family includes children (familial status discrimination);

(c) Discrimination because of age, race, color, religion, sex, or national origin;

(d) Discrimination because of disability; or

(e) Whether a family decides to participate in a family self-sufficiency program.
