Self-Help Housing Bill Sets Up State Program
SACRAMENTO UPI reports Assembly Minority Leader Robert T. Monagan unveiled a self help housing bill to create a California initiative offering up to 50 000 loans for home construction and improvements for low income families who pledge 30 hours of labor weekly. The plan finances 560 million in revenue bonds over six years and would require a California self help housing commission to oversee applications from families earning 3 000 to 7 000 annually, allowing groups of 15 to 20 to pool labor and purchasing power with six month project limits. Monagan cites Visalia as a successful model and argues the program helps families unable to obtain conventional financing.
