**Please note: as of August 2011,
there is currently a waiting list of over 100 residents.
Additionally, due to the State's current plan to eliminate the
City's Redevelopment Program, the Handyworker Assistance Program
has been temporarily suspended.
The Housing
program provides Housing Rehabilitation assistance. The purpose
of the Housing Rehabilitation Program is to improve the living
conditions of individual homeowners, while at the same time
upgrade the general housing stock of the City in order to
prevent decay.
Eligible
participants in the Housing Rehabilitation Program may receive
up to $25,000 for home repairs.
Acceptable improvements could include
the repair or replacement of obsolete or non-functioning
heating, plumbing, electrical, or structural items in their
residence. The loans are set at a simple
interest rate of 3%, with no payments due until sale or a change
of title. Eligibility is base upon household size and
annual income, which is geared towards low-income households
that are owner-occupied single family residences.
If you
would like to be added to the City's waiting list, please fill

Drive, Temple City, CA 91780.
