Housing & Community Investment
The Housing and Community Investment Department (HCI)
is comprised of three divisions: Housing, Community Investment and Grant
Implementation. The Department is funded with several sources of funds:
Redevelopment 20% Housing Set-Aside Funds, various grant funds and fees.
The Housing Division has the general responsibility for development
and implementation of affordable housing programs and projects for the
Redevelopment Agency and the City of West Sacramento, including the
Shared Equity Housing Program, Residential Rehabilitation Program, First
Time Homebuyer Program, Inclusionary Housing Program, Regulatory Agreement
Monitoring, the HIRE Program and reporting on affordable housing production
to various agencies such as the State Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) and the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG).
The Department, under the Community Investment Division, implements
or administers special projects and programs that are non-housing in
nature. The Neighborhood Enhancement, Brownfields coordination and the
Motel/Mobile Home Park Programs are examples of special programs under
this division. The Neighborhood Enhancement Program is designed to revitalize
focused neighborhoods in the City. This division works closely with
other departments, agencies and community stakeholders.
The Grant Administration/Program Division acts as
a clearinghouse for grant activity for the City including tracking
of grants and notifying
departments of funding sources available for City/Agency projects
and
programs. This division attempts to ensure that the City and
the Redevelopment Agency obtain their “fair share” of
grant funds available to municipalities.
This ordinance has been developed in conjunction with the mobile home park task force, and will be presented to the Housing Advisory Commission in September. The first presentation to the City Council is tentatively scheduled for early October.
