to 456.828 and moneys made available from any other source for use by the
department under ORS 456.548 to 456.828.
(2) Except as
otherwise provided in this section, moneys in the fund may be expended by the
department for the purposes authorized in ORS 456.548 to 456.828. Except as

department may establish one or more accounts within the fund for use in
carrying out ORS 456.548 to 456.828.

shall consist of the aggregate of moneys retained by the department, pursuant

of such bonds, the payment of interest on such bonds and the payment of any
redemption premium required to be paid by the department when any such bonds
are redeemed prior to maturity. Moneys in the account may not be withdrawn
therefrom at any time in such amount as would reduce the amount of moneys in
the account below the maximum amount of principal and interest maturing and

to assure the continual operation and maintenance of the capital reserve
account in the Housing Finance Fund and to carry out ORS 456.548 to 456.828, if
the amount of money on deposit in the capital reserve account in any year is
less than the debt service reserves described in ORS 456.655 (1), the Director
of the Housing and Community Services Department shall certify to the Governor
and the Legislative Assembly or, during the interim, to the Emergency Board the
amount needed to restore the account to its required debt service reserves. The
amount so certified by the director may be appropriated by the Legislative
Assembly or, during the interim, allocated by the Emergency Board and paid to
the department during the then current fiscal year for deposit in the capital
reserve account.
(b) For the
purposes of this section, the department shall annually value investments in
