Housing Services Program
The Housing Services Program (HSP) is a home repair and improvement program serving property owners within the Salinas city limits.

Through the HSP, the City of Salinas provides technical and financial assistance, allowing property owners to correct deficiencies and improve the livability of their residential property.

Eligible improvements and repairs include: roofs, plumbing, windows, foundations, floors, electrical systems, bathrooms and kitchens, etc.

Low interest loans in amounts up to $90,000 are available to eligible property owners to make repairs to their residential property.

The loans are processed by the HSP and have an interest rate of 5% for owner occupied residences and 6% for the owners of rental property. The loans have an amortized term of 15 years.

The rates and terms of the program are established by the City Council and are subject to change. In certain hardship situations repayment of the loan may be deferred. In these instances the interest rate is 3% and the loan is reviewed every two years.

There is no charge for the HSP loan, or the staff time, however, the property owner is responsible for all project costs and fees such as: title insurance, appraisal, plan preparation, etc. These costs may be wrapped into the loan.

Housing Accessibility Assistance Grants
Grants, in amounts up to $14,000 per household, are available to assist qualifying property owners in removing architectural barriers which limit access or impede mobility, and to install fixtures which may reduce hazards which may be aggravated by a disability.

Eligibility
Households with an income not exceeding 80% of the median family income for Salinas or property owners willing to rent, at rates affordable to low income households.
