Housing Programs

The City of Riverbank Housing Division has successfully applied and been awarded several competitive grants funded by the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).  For the last 29 years, the Housing Division has been serving the low- to very-low income household community with the rehabilitation and repair of owner-occupied properties under the Housing Rehabilitation Program.  The Home Buyers program would follow 12 years later and is directed to assist with the gap finance purchase of the clients first home.  Both programs have received direct benefits of the diverse Housing and Community Development programs.  Throughout the years the City of Riverbank City Council has approved grant applications towards the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership Program and CALHOME Programs.  All HCD programs are required to meet one of the three National Objectives as established by 24 CFR Section 570.483.  The National Objective which pertains to these housing programs is the “benefit to low and moderate-income persons”.

The funding provided by HCD has allowed the City of Riverbank to make a considerable difference for households of low- to very-low income in their quality of life, improvement of the existing housing stock and provide first time home buyers the opportunity to reach their American Dream.

Participants interested in any of the programs below must be at or below the current CDBG and HOME Income limits as established by HCD.  Income limits are subject to change annually.  Income limits are based on the number of household members and their combined income. Income eligibility may change based on the clients income fluctuation during the loan processing period.
