    Principal and interest from loan repayments, proceeds from grant repayments, forfeitures, reimbursements, and all other income from affordable housing fund activities, plus all income from the activities of the fund's separate accounts, shall be deposited into the affordable housing fund. All funds in the account shall earn interest at least at the same rate as pooled investments managed by the treasurer. All interest earnings from the account shall be reinvested and dedicated to the account. Transfer of interest earnings shall be made quarterly or upon direction of the county administrator. Transferred funds shall accrue interest from the time of transfer.
