Public Housing and the Housing Choice Voucher Program
The Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) operates public housing and the Housing Choice Voucher program in Sacramento County, including the city of Citrus Heights. The Housing Choice Voucher program provides eligible applicants with a “voucher” that allows the applicant to find housing in the private rental market. The tenant pays a portion of the rent to the owner, and SHRA pays the remainder. Additionally, SHRA has many subsidized apartment complexes (public housing) in Sacramento County and Citrus Heights. These properties are owned and managed by SHRA and are offered to eligible applicants as vacancies occur. For a complete list of subsidized rentals and any other Section 8 or public housing questions call: Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (916) 492-2244.
Housing Trust Fund
In order to provide affordable housing the city of Citrus Heights assesses fees on the construction of commercial structures. These "housing impact fees" and other fees dedicated to creating new affordable housing are deposited into the Housing Trust Fund. Please find links to the ordinance and resolution below along with the guidelines for the use of the Housing Trust Fund.
The city of Citrus Heights is currently accepting proposals for the use of the Housing Trust Fund. Please see the Notice of Funds Available (NOFA) and related information below.
