Many local governments have rehabilitation or repair grants for low income homeowners, including residents or
owners of mobilehomes, in some cases. This money is made available through the CalHome program, operated by
HCD, to local governments and non-profit organizations, as part of two housing bond issues approved by state
voters in recent years. However, application must be made through local government, and not all local jurisdictions
have such programs. There are usually income and residency eligibility requirements. Additionally, some
jurisdictions do not consider mobilehomes “real property” eligible for rehab funding or may have restrictions on
the kinds of repairs that will be funded. Contact the county housing agency for information on availability and
eligibility.
