Rental Assistance
The Housing Choice Vouchers Rental Assistance Program is a nationwide program for assisting very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled to afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. Because housing assistance is provided to families or individuals, participants can find their own housing, including single-family homes, townhouses, and apartments. Participants are free to choose any housing that meets the requirements of the program and are not limited to units located in subsidized housing projects.
Jurupa Valley's Housing Choice Voucher Rental Assistance Program is administered by the County of Riverside's Housing Authority. For more information on this and other programs, please visit the Housing Authority website.
First-Time Homebuyer Down Payment Assistance
The Riverside County FTHB Program is designed to aid low to moderate-income households in the purchase of their first home. Assistance may be provided for the down payment in the purchase of a home. The amount of assistance available depends upon the buyer's qualifications and the price of the home. For more information on this program, visit the County of Riverside's website.

The Residential Rehabilitation Program was designed to provide financial assistance to low-income households to rehabilitate and preserve affordable housing.

Mortgage Relief
The California Mortgage Relief Program has announced it will expand eligibility requirements to give more California homeowners a fresh start in their homes after falling behind on housing payments due to financial hardships brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The California Mortgage Relief Program offers financial assistance to eligible homeowners through a one-time-only grant that does not have to be paid back. This means homeowners who have fallen behind on their mortgage or property tax payments due to pandemic-related financial hardships can get caught up. Visit the state's website and click "Apply Now" to see if you or your family are eligible.

Inland SoCal 211
Dialing "211" provides individuals and families in need with a shortcut through what can be a bewildering maze of health and human service agency phone numbers. By simply dialing 211, you can be referred, and sometimes connected, to local help provided by community organizations
Dialing 211 directs callers to services for the elderly, the disabled, those who do not speak English, those with a personal crisis, those with limited reading skills, and those who are new to their communities, as well as many other resources.
Inclusionary Housing Ordinance
In 2022, Jurupa Valley adopted an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance requiring a certain percentage of homes within newly constructed housing projects to be made available for less than market value.
In Jurupa Valley, 20% to 40% of owner-occupied households and 40% to 60% of renter households currently spend at or above 30% of their monthly income on housing. These high costs can lead to overcrowding, economic instability, and homelessness, particularly among vulnerable groups such as seniors, farmworkers, working families, and persons with physical and mental disabilities. The City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance encourages the production of below-market-rate homes with the goal of housing all community members whether they are working for families or otherwise belonging to vulnerable populations.
