HOUSING PRESERVATION
The Housing Preservation and Homeownership Unit provides financial assistance to qualified owners to rehabilitate their homes and/or to low-income qualified buyers to acquire their first homes using the Home Ownership Program (HOP). A variety of financial assistance funded with HOME or Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds are available, including: single-family rehabilitation grants and deferred payment, or below-market deferred loans for owner-occupied properties. Funds are also provided for the rehabilitation of special needs housing.
In addition, the Housing Preservation Unit utilizes funds from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Los Angeles World Airport to provide grants to sound insulate residential dwellings from aircraft noise caused by Los Angeles World Airport. Periodically, Tax Increment funds are also used to offer home improvement grants to qualified property owners and owners of rental property in Willowbrook, W. Altadena, Maravilla, and the E. Rancho Dominguez Redevelopment Areas.
