Is there financial assistance available to residents for correction of code violations on their home?

Many local governments have rehabilitation or repair grants for low income homeowners, including residents or owners of mobile homes, in some cases. This money is made available through the CalHome Program, operated by HCD, to local governments and non-profit organizations, as part of two housing bond issues approved by state voters in recent years. However, application must be made through local government, and not all local jurisdictions have such programs. There are usually income and residency eligibility requirements. Additionally, some jurisdictions do not consider mobile homes “real property” eligible for rehab funding or may have restrictions on the kinds f repairs that will be funded. Contact the county housing agency for information on availability and eligibility.
