On Wednesday, March 30th, Governor Newsom announced another round of awards granted in Project Homekey, a program administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). This program provides grant funding to cities, counties, or other local public entities within California to purchase and rehabilitate housing, hotels, motels, vacant apartment buildings, and other buildings and convert them into interim or permanent, long-term housing. Among the award recipients is the RCRC-member county of Glenn which, together with the City of Orland, will receive $8.7 million for a 33-unit new construction permanent supportive housing project.
Additional Homekey awards will be announced in the coming weeks. Completed applications are being accepted on a rolling basis until funds are exhausted or May 2, 2022, whichever comes first. Detailed information is available on the HCD Homekey website here.
