Housing Choice Voucher program is a part of Human Services, one of six Divisions of County of Placer Health & Human Services.

The Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV) formerly known as the Section 8 Voucher Program, is a rental assistance program to help low and very low-income families, persons with disabilities, and seniors so they can live in affordable, safe, and decent housing.

Roseville has established a 10 percent affordable housing goal (a combination of purchase and rental) in an effort to create a partnership with the development and business communities in providing housing for low to middle income families.

There is a list of subdivisions that still have an obligation for affordable units but they may not have been built or marketed yet. There is information on their website on how to sign up for email notification when affordable purchase units, whether new or resale, become available.

The City of Roseville's 10 percent affordable housing goal includes affordable rental units to provide rental housing for low to middle income families. Affordable Rental Housing Development Agreements (ARHDA), Regulatory Agreements and Owner Participation Agreements are the mechanisms by which affordable units are identified. The agreements require affordability be maintained for a specific time period. City staff monitors each agreement on an annual basis to ensure compliance and reports its findings to the City Council during a public hearing.

The First Time Home Buyer Down Payment Assistance Program (FTHB) is designed to promote home ownership for low income, first time homebuyers. Down payment assistance is in the form of a deferred loan (second mortgage), not due and payable until sale, transfer of property or 30 years, whichever happens first. Maximum assistance will be in the amount of $60,000. Contact the City of Roseville to inquire if there are funds available. We always accept applications to add interested buyers to our waiting list.

The Housing Rehabilitation program provides loans and grants for housing occupied by low-income families to correct home health and safety problems and help revitalize neighborhoods. Deferred payment loans (no monthly payment required) of up to $100,000 at 0% interest are available to qualified, owner occupied properties. Loans can also be used to make the home accessible to accommodate persons with disabilities. One time only grants of up to $5,000 are available to low-income elderly and/or disabled homeowners. These grants are used to correct health and safety defects and do not need to be repaid. Program funds are very limited.

Foothills Habitat for Humanity builds simple, safe, affordable ownership-housing for low income families by partnering with God's people from all walks of life. The vision of Foothills Habitat for Humanity is to eliminate substandard housing in Placer County. Please contact or visit the website for additional information.
