Affordable housing
Apr 3, 2011
Hello to everyone, I may have double posted, but I didnt see my post when I hit the refresh button, So I wanted to create a profile and post again. I'm the mother of 3 and I recently lost my job. I have spent hours on top of hours trying to research programs or any type of assistance for families that have fallen into this economic blow. I've read that we are no longer in recession (post recession). And I wonder where they get this information?
I grew up in the projects, but worked my way out the hood 25 years ago for the sake of my children and their future. I have worked all my life and even had 2 jobs at a time because we do whatever it takes to provide for our children. I have went to job fair after job fair just to be told to go online and submit an application. I have submitted applications on line through job portals, dol listings, and any other site you can think of.
I have a ba in Criminal Justice/Psychology and was working on my MA in Clinical Psychology. But after losing my job I thought it would be a wise jump to change up my degree plan with hopes to graduating and making a career change.
There are no known programs for families that face tough times after losing their jobs. Your penalized for using up your 401k and long after the 401k is gone, your still left to wonder where your going to lay your head. I've done search after search for housing assistance or affordable housing just to find out that there is no such thing unless its low income, but yet low income seems to be a death sentence. And even if your willing to go that route, the waiting list for assistance or help is years long.
So you buckle up and keep just the necessities which are light/gas, water, food, rent, and you try to keep your car because not every place is public transit accessible and worst case scenario you can sleep in your car. But even that is too much when you don't have any income flowing into your home. McDonalds and any other place that may pay min wage says your over qualified. So where do you go? Who do you turn to?
How can you prevent your family from being homeless? What programs are out there for someone needing assistance or help urgently?
Why is it that the government provides housing and rent free programs for those that refuse to work, but those that have worked all their lives and fall into tough times cant get a helping hand?
This must be the most stressful situation I have ever been in my entire life and to be honest, I don't see how I'm going to survive. This is the first time I've admitted that thought *How will I survive*. I"ve told my kids that everything will be okay thinking that maybe I'd get a job... But reality is I'm scared and I'm tired!
If anyone knows of any links, information, or contact numbers that could point me in the right direction PLEASE post or email.

Housing Choice Voucher Program
This federal program provides rent subsidies for very low income people who find their own housing in private homes and apartment buildings. MSHDA administers approximately 24,000 Housing Choice Vouchers. Renters can find more information in our “Guidelines for Tenants” brochure. Landlords can find more information in our “Landlord Guidelines” brochure.
For tips on what to look for in a rental unit, refer to the brochure “A Good Place to Live.”
HUD regulations encourage applicants with Housing Choice Vouchers to look for housing outside of concentrated areas, maps are available to identify those areas.
Note: The waiting list for this program is very long and is closed when full. Open application periods are advertized in the newspapers. To apply for a Housing Choice Voucher contact the Housing Agent assigned to the county where you wish to reside. The Housing Agent will verify the status (open vs. closed) of the waiting list, explain eligibility requirements, etc. Housing Agent contact information can be found using the County Information Map.
Participants in the Housing Choice Voucher Program may qualify for other opportunities such as the Family Self-Sufficiency and Homeownership Programs.
The Office of Housing Voucher Programs Policy and Procedures Manual can be viewed here: Policy and Procedures Manual
The Housing Voucher Programs Administrative Plan can be viewed here: Administrative Plan
To apply for a project-based voucher (subsidized housing at specified developments within the state) for homeless persons with special needs, veterans, elderly, and domestic violence survivors, please contact the housing agent listed for the specific development you wish to live at for more information.

Why the concern about Affordable Housing in Santa Barbara?
Santa Barbara residents enjoy a beautiful environment bordered by mountains and seashore, with clean air, a temperate climate, and charming ambiance. But this beautiful City exacts a high price from those who live here. Housing costs are among the highest in the nation, and vacancy rates are among the lowest.
The high housing costs result in problems for many residents. The gap between incomes and housing costs is great. Many people commute long distances from less expensive housing in outlying areas. Much of the housing is seriously overcrowded, as families double and triple up in order to stay in the City. Children who grow up here are often forced to leave the area in search of housing they can afford. The low vacancy rate contributes to substandard housing, as unscrupulous landlords get nearly the same rent for units they allow to deteriorate as for well-maintained units.
Responsible property owners face stiff challenges. Many local homeowners are elderly, living on fixed incomes and residing in homes that need extensive repairs. Landlords renting to low- and moderate-income people at affordable rents do not have operating budgets or reserves that can cover rehabilitation expenses.
The City has done well in creating a level of affordable housing that constitutes 12% of the City's housing stock. The City is in the process of analyzing several strategies to provide even more affordable housing opportunities.

What is Affordable Housing and Who Does it Serve?
(RENT & INCOME LEVELS)
Affordable housing means housing that does not cost more than 30 percent of a household's gross income. For example, an affordable monthly rent for a household earning ,000 per month would be 0 (including utilities). For homeowners, affordable monthly housing expenses for a household earning ,000 per month would be ,200 (including mortgage payments, taxes, and condominium association fees).
The City's affordable rental housing programs are targeted to low- or very low-income households. Affordable ownership housing programs are targeted to moderate-income households. Under the City's new Density Bonus Program, units are also provided for middle and upper middle income households. The maximum limits for these and other income levels are listed in the table below. They are based on median income figures the federal government calculates annually for Santa Barbara County, with adjustments made for household size.

How does one apply for an affordable apartment?
The City of Santa Barbara and its Redevelopment Agency provide critical financial assistance to developers of affordable rental housing. Neither the City nor the Redevelopment Agency own or manage the properties. The following is a list of owner/managers of affordable rental housing the City and its Redevelopment Agency have helped finance:
* The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara is a local public agency that provides affordable housing as well as supportive services to eligible persons with limited incomes. The Housing Authority owns and manages hundreds of units throughout the City and also offers rent subsidies to eligible households. Contact them by calling 965-1071 or by visiting their website at http://www.hacsb.org/ Link to World Wide Web - You are Leaving the City Web Site..
* People's Self-help Housing Corporation and The Duncan Group own and manage hundreds of units of affordable housing throughout Santa Barbara County and provide on-site community services. Contact them by calling their local office at 962-5152 or by visiting their website at http://www.pshhc.org/ Link to World Wide Web - You are Leaving the City Web Site..

How does the City help first-time and other eligible homebuyers?
Hundreds of condominium units and single-family homes have been constructed under the City's Housing Development and Preservation Program for eligible low, moderate, middle and upper middle income homebuyers. In acquiring their affordable homes, owners have agreed to comply with resale restrictions that limit the resale price and require a new buyer to be of low, moderate, middle income, or upper-middle income.
When owners wish to sell their homes, they contact the City to find out what the allowable resale price will be. Owners are free to select a buyer from the City's list or find their own qualified buyer. Upon request, we provide to owners our current “Interest List”. Owners are free to sell to any qualified household. There is no guarantee that they will select their buyer from the list. The interest list is also provided to developers when new projects are being marketed.
Your name remains on the “Interest List” for SIX MONTHS from the date you submit your request. It is your responsibility to submit a new written request for your name to remain on the list.
For more information, click on the links above. You may also contact Deirdre Randolph, Housing Programs Specialist at (805) 564-5461 or by email: DRandolph@SantaBarbaraCA.gov.

How can developers participate in creating affordable housing?
The City has implemented a comprehensive program to encourage the preservation and construction of affordable housing. Santa Barbara's housing program consists of several activities. Through most of these activities the City provides financial and/or land use incentives to a developer in exchange for a recorded agreement that some or all of the housing units will remain affordable to a certain income group (for example, "low-income" or "moderate-income") for a specified number of years.
Direct Financial Assistance
The program solicits and evaluates proposals involving requests by developers for financial assistance from the City for the construction of new housing units or the rehabilitation of existing housing units. This result in the creation of housing that is affordable to low- and moderate-income people and that will remain affordable for 60 years pursuant to an agreement recorded against the title.
The City primarily provides direct financial assistance to nonprofit housing developers. (For-profit developers generally participate in the density bonus program described below.) The City generally provides gap financing that is the last portion of financing that enables the developer to create a project with rents and home prices low enough to be affordable by low- and moderate-income households. Financial assistance generally comes in the form of a 30-year, three percent loan.
Density Bonus
Through the City's density bonus program the City allows development of a greater number of units than would normally be allowed under the existing zoning. As a tradeoff, some or all of the units on the site are subject to rent restrictions or resale controls which provide for continued affordability to low income renters or moderate income purchasers for at least thirty years. Since the beginning of the City's density bonus program in the early 1980s, the Planning Commission has approved 58 projects with density bonus. These projects contained approximately 415 bonus units and 961 affordable units.
For details, please see the Density Bonus Program.

Click the above link to access information for the greater Los Angeles Area. They provide a variety of services for the children,women and children, family services, senior services, veteran services and homeless help.
I have used their companion animal program for seniors for my cat as they supplied the flea medication, and if my vet or nearby place sold his cat food they would have helped me in buying that. They have covered my cat's shots he needs. It is a matter of getting him to the vet whereas before it was real close by where I had lived. Their companion animal program helps with the cost of his fleas medication and shots a lot. I have looked into their affordable housing too.
Here is a little about them helping the homeless.
Our specialized programs provide relief and support services to homeless individuals and families, with programs developed specifically for veterans.Our Skid Row Drop-In Center provides IMMEDIATE NEEDS including beds, showers, laundry, storage, medical evaluation, use of phone and the Internet. We offer job training and placement, advocacy and referrals, and daily therapy groups. We serve 300+ daily, and shelter 100+ every night.
