Existing law defines nonprofit organization as a nonprofit public benefit corporation organized for the purpose of the acquisition of either single-family or multifamily dwellings for rehabilitation and sale or rent to low-income persons or for other use to serve low-income persons, or vacant land for construction of residential dwellings and subsequent sale or rent to low-income persons, for other use to serve low-income persons, or for dedication of that vacant land to public use.This bill would expand the definition of nonprofit organization for purposes of tax-defaulted property sales to include community housing development organizations and community land trusts.
