Permanently Protect Your Home for the Local Workforce

Did you know that the Housing Authority has funding to permanently protect existing market homes for the local workforce? 

We can accomplish this in one of two ways:

Workforce Ownership Deed Restriction - Up to $200,000 - These units may be owner-occupied by a member of the local workforce or rented to a member of the local workforce. Appreciation on these homes is set at CPI not to exceed 3% annually. 

• Down Payment Assistance for households who work full time locally and earn at least 75% of their income locally, up to $200,000 may be available for down payment assistance to purchase a market (not deed restricted) home. In return for the financial assistance, the household is required to record a permanent Workforce Ownership deed restriction.
• Deed Restriction Purchase for households who already own their own home and wish to permanently protect their home for the local workforce. In return for a permanent Workforce Ownership restriction on the home, the Housing Authority can pay a households up to $200,000.
