Some RivCo Residents Eligible For Up To $50K In Home Repair Grants

RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CA — Riverside County has a new countywide program to help owners revitalize their mobile and manufactured homes — to the tune of up to $50,000 per applicant.

As part of the Riverside County Manufactured Housing Rehabilitation Program, owners can apply for grants of up to $50,000 for eligible repairs that could cover plumbing, roofing, electrical, heating, accessibility upgrades, and energy efficiency upgrades, or even replacement of the home.

The program is designed to assist with rehabilitating homes to improve their safety and condition, according to the county.

“We are using these funds that we received at the county level to help owners of mobile homes improve their quality of life and safety,” said Supervisor V. Manuel Perez, chairman of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors. “This is a program that helps fill a gap so people can afford the home repairs they need and maintain their housing.”

Application information, including income limits, is available at: https://rivcohws.org/manufactured-housing-rehabilitation-program. Applicants can reside in an unincorporated community or a city. Preference will be given to applicants from unincorporated communities, according to the county.

There is a requirement for homeowners utilizing the grant to continue to live in their home for five years.

The Riverside County Manufactured Housing Rehabilitation Program is administered by the Riverside County Housing and Workforce Solutions Department. The program is funded with $5 million in state Manufactured Housing Opportunity and Revitalization (MORE) Program funds that the county secured.
