Infrastructure and Revitalization Financing District (IRFD)
Established by Assembly Bill 229 in 2014, IRFDs are districts that finance housing development and other development projects of communitywide significance in current and former redevelopment project areas. IRFDs fund many of the same types of projects as EIFDs, including affordable housing, highways and transit facilities, industrial structures, sewage treatment, etc. IRFDs do not have an affordable housing set-aside requirement, however any district that does develop housing must have at least 20% low- and moderate-income housing.
Differing from EIFDs, IRFDs required 2/3 voter approval for formation and to issue bonds. IRFDs are governed by the same governing body as the city or county creating the district. IRFDs also receive funding from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund.
