(b) The department may use funds appropriated for the purposes of the Office of Migrant Services to maximize the utility of any other local, federal, state, or private funds or other assistance made available for the purposes of this section. These appropriated funds may be used for costs including, but not limited to, the following items:

1. (1) Predevelopment costs incurred in the process of securing construction or long-term financing site acquisition development, architectural, engineering, or legal expenses, or construction costs, including construction interest, or both. These costs shall not be subject to reimbursement from construction or permanent financing, as the case may be, if the reimbursement would contribute to, or result in, rents substantially in excess of those in other migrant farm labor centers assisted by the Office of Migrant Services, as determined by the department.
2. (2) A grant or deferred payment loan for acquisition, development, and related infrastructure costs, including construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or operation, which may be forgiven, matching or supplementing the permanent financing or grant made available by a federal, state, or local housing assistance program.
3. (3) Operating cost reductions to the extent necessary to ensure that the rents in the migrant farm center are not substantially in excess of those in other migrant farm labor centers operated by the Office of Migrant Services.
