Whenever the department proceeds under Section 987.77 to declare a forfeiture and to retain all payments made under the forfeited contract as rental paid for occupancy, the department may, in lieu of paying any net gain to the purchaser in accordance with Section 987.79, deposit that net gain into a segregated account in the Veterans’ Farm and Home Building Fund of 1943 created to receive funds pursuant to this section. The funds in the account shall be accumulated until June 30 of each year, and any losses on the sales of forfeited properties during the fiscal year shall be deducted from the total of the net gains deposited in the account during the fiscal year. The department may expend the funds remaining in the account on June 30 each year, after deduction for losses on sales of forfeited properties, for purposes of assistance to lower income purchasers pursuant to subdivision (c), (e), or (h) of Section 987.71.
