Housing and Homelessness
The California housing market is very competitive. The average sale price of a home in California was $400K in December of 2022, up 30.1% since last year. The average sale price per square foot in California is $166, up 0.9% since last year. As costs of housing in California have increased, so has homelessness. Homelessness in California is a continuing and growing crisis. Individuals and families experiencing homelessness are without permanent housing largely due to a lack of affordable housing.
Highlighted Programs
Forthcoming
Manufactured Housing Opportunity and Revitalization (MORE)
The MORE program was established to replace the state’s underutilized Mobilehome Park Rehabilitation and Resident Ownership Program (MPPROP). Under the new MORE Program, the types of eligible applicants were expanded to include local public entities, qualified nonprofit housing sponsors and in some cases private Mobilehome Park owners. The changes to this section of the HSC also allow for Mobilehome Parks that do not have a permit to operate or whose permit has been suspended to utilize MORE program funds.
