Homeownership Barriers For Temecula's Youth Under Review At City Hall

TEMECULA, CA — Will Temecula youth be able to buy a future home in their city? What are the barriers facing them?

Those are questions expected to be addressed during a Sept. 5 joint workshop with Temecula City Council and the city's Race, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (REDI) Commission.

During the 6 p.m. workshop at City Hall, 41000 Main Street, the REDI Commission will present its research on the topic — future homeownership opportunities for Temecula's youth — and make recommendations to the City Council.

Key points on the workshop agenda include barriers youth may be facing now and in the future as they seek home ownership in Temecula; a review of community resources/agencies/nonprofits/others that can assist youth in addressing barriers; and identifying which barriers are going unaddressed in the community and/or need more
attention.

During the workshop, City Council is also expected to consider the topic of future requests for proposals for affordable housing in Temecula.

According to data from Zillow.com, the median list price of a Temecula home was $891,500 as of July 31.
