General Plan - Moreno Valley

CHAPTER 8 – HOUSINGMORENO VALLEY GENERAL PLANPolicyPrograms4.1.02 The City will continue to utilize CDBG and/or other appropriate funds to assist lowincomesenior citizens with minor repairs to owner-occupied homes, in conjunctionwith the Riverside County Housing Authority or other agencies, with the goal ofassisting at least 50 households per year.UpdateDuring the time that the County administered a Senior Home Repair Program and made thatprogram available to all cities in the county, the City of Moreno Valley provided funding for theprogram. A total of $52,000, over three years, was provided from the City’s CDBG funds.Seniors in our community were given a $250 grant for minor repairs. However, since 1995,the county has only made funds available to unincorporated areas, thus Moreno Valleyseniors were no longer eligible to receive grants. The City has compensated by providing agrant to mobile home owners (a large proportion of those utilizing the Senior Home RepairProgram lived in mobile homes) and by providing a minor rehabilitation loan program as well.ResultsFiscal YearMobilehome UnitsRehabilitatedRDA Funds HOME Funds Total‘93-94 28 $50,444 $100,000 $150,444‘94-95 7 $13,460 $27,330 $ 40,790‘95-96 29 $59,000 $112,000 $171,000‘96-97 23 $63,697 $102,064 $165,761TOTAL 60 $186,601 $341,394 $527,995Page 8-100 July 11, 2006
