Home Purchase Funding Sources

  • Placer County Home Buyer Assistance Program

    The Workforce Housing Preservation Program is a homebuyer assistance program designed to secure our existing housing inventory for the local workforce. The program pays homebuyers up to 16% of purchase price towards a down payment (based on available funding) in exchange for deed restricting their home so that it can only be occupied by local workers.

Commonly Asked Questions

  • Area Median Income is the household income for the median — or middle — household in a region. The US Department of Urban Development (HUD) publishes this data annually for regions; data varies by household size. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) makes minor adjustments based on regional factors to these numbers prior to publishing.  

    For example, Nevada County AMI for family of four is $85,100 (2019) and Placer County AMI for family of four is $83,600 (2019).
