Affordable Rental Projects

The Housing Authority of the City of San Buenaventura (HACSB) maintains a list of affordable rental projects where the City may have participated in developments where the City placed inclusionary or other regulatory requirements. In addition, the City from time to time may have an outstanding agreement with a developer and is required to construct as part of their project a percentage of their rental units as affordable. These are minimal, but on occasion are available.  So if you are a prospective renter/applicant go to Applicant Requirements.

Applicant Requirements

Prospective renter/applicant of any affordable rental unit governed by these guidelines must be certified eligible by the City prior to leasing or occupying any affordable rental unit and subject to annual monitoring of eligibility for as long as they continue to rent and occupy an affordable rental unit.

The developer/property manager of the affordable rental units will review and process prospective renter’s application including any and all documentation required and will submit a request  to the City to provide a final eligibility determination.
