MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is to acquire, develop and manage quality rental and home ownership for very low and low income households and to be a voice for housing opportunities in the larger community.

 

CURRENT PROGRAMS

Affordable Rental Housing

HBHDC owns and manages 105 rental units in five (5) multi-family complexes located in Arcata and McKinleyville. We have studio, one-, two and three-bedroom units available for rent at below- market rates to income eligible households. We accept Section 8 Housing Assistance Program and other subsidies. Units with accessible features are available. Depending on the complex, tenants have access to covered parking, coin-operated laundry, community rooms, decks, patios and private yards. All complexes are located within close proximity to public transportation, shopping areas, recreational opportunities and social services.

Affordable Home Ownership

The Community Land Trust is an affordable homeownership program for low-income households. HBHDC holds land in trust for the community and builds homes that are offered for sale to households qualified for a private mortgage, but that cannot afford to purchase a home on the traditional real estate market.  The homeowner does not own the land, but has the right to use the land responsibly and for as long as the family wants to live in the home.  Households that want to purchase a Community Land Trust home agree that they have an opportunity to earn a fair, but limited return on the investment so that the home remains affordable to another low-income family in the future.
