CITY OF BANNING
HOUSING ELEMENT QUESTIONNAIRE
In accordance with State of California law (Government Code Section 65400 et. Seq.), the City of
Banning is updating the Housing Element of the General Plan. The City is required to update the
Housing Element every five years as a means of ensuring that adequate housing opportunities are
provided. Stay tuned to the City’s website (http://www.ci.banning.ca.us/) for regular postings as
sections of the Housing Element are completed. The City encourages all interested residents to
provide written input throughout the process of drafting the 2008-2014 Housing Element so that its
policies and programs reflect the community values of the residents of Banning.
The following questions do not necessarily reflect the opinion or position of any person or group
within the City of Banning, rather they are meant to illustrate the topics and issues that must be
addressed in the Housing Element to best serve the entire community. Feel free to respond to all
the questions or to specific questions based on your area(s) of interest.
1. In your opinion, is there an unmet demand for a particular type of housing (i.e. 2nd units, large
single family homes, duplexes, rental apartments, granny flats, other?) in the City of Banning?
2. Are current City policies adequately accommodating homes for physically or mentally disabled
persons, homeless shelters, etc., in the City of Banning?
3. How do you feel churches/non-profit organizations can help meet the housing needs for
physically or mentally disabled persons, homeless, etc, in the City of Banning?
4. What should the City do to encourage the development of affordable housing for persons and
families in the low and very low income range in the City of Banning?
5. How can the City better address code enforcement activities to encourage landowners to better
maintain and/or improve their properties, thereby, improving the quality of housing in the
community?
6. How can the City better promote the first-time homebuyer program that provides opportunities
for low-income residents to become homeowners?
7. How can the City encourage participation in a housing repair loan program to help maintain the
housing quality of low-income and/or elderly households?
8. How can the City’s Redevelopment Agency be more proactive in serving the needs of lower
income households in the City of Banning?
Please e-mail, mail or drop off your comments at City Hall. If you have any questions, please
contact Kim Clinton, Senior Planner at (951)922-3181 or email: [email protected]
TO RETURN THIS QUESTIONNAIRE BY MAIL, JUST TRI-FOLD AND ATTACH

City of Banning Synopsis of Housing Element Questionnaires
The City received a total of 62 questionnaires.
Questions receiving the most responses were: 1,2,4, and 5.
1. In your opinion, is there an unmet demand for a particular type of housing (i.e. 2nd unit,
large single family homes, duplexes, rental apartments, granny flats, other?) in the City of
Banning?
Of those that answered this question, 15 respondents replies with a simple “yes”, there
is an unmet demand for low-income housing, and 20 respondents replied with a simple
“no” that the affordable housing is adequate for the City. They indicated that they
would like to see more affordable senior housing, apartments and large single-family
homes. Several respondents also indicated that they would like to have the rents for
the affordable housing based upon income. Several respondents indicated that
Banning does not need anymore low-income housing, but the current housing needs to

organizations like Habitat for Humanity into the City. They also believe that City
officials need to talk to the residents of the City more and get a feel for the needs of
the City from the residents. They would also like easier access to the policies and
procedures for the various redevelopment programs. Several people feel that the City
has already done enough for low income households.

California Homebuyer's Downpayment Assistance Program (CHDAP)
This program offers a deferred-payment junior loan of an amount up to the lesser of three
percent (3%) of the purchase price or appraised value. Homebuyers are able to use these
funds to help with their downpayment and closing costs without the need to make
monthly payments on the loan. Interest will be calculated at 3% simple interest. The
assistance may be combined with any CalHFA or non-CalHFA conventional or
government first mortgage loan.
Homebuyers using a CalHFA first mortgage may combine the assistance with a CalHFA
Housing Assistance Program (CHAP) loan, High Cost Area Home Purchase Assistance
Program (HiCAP) loan and with other downpayment assistance programs offered by
local government agencies and nonprofit organization, if the subordinate program is preapproved by CalHFA. The CHDAP loan cannot be combined with loans under CalHFA's
Extra Credit Teacher Program and HIRAP.
The CHDAP is available on a statewide basis for first-time homebuyers purchasing a
single family residence anywhere in California, that is within CalHFA's sales price limits,
is intended as their primary residence, and whose family income does not exceed the
Program's moderate income limit requirements. Homebuyers must also meet all first
mortgage eligibility requirements according to the lender, investor, mortgage insurer, or
guarantor criteria.
Farmworker Housing Grant Program provides housing opportunities for agricultural
households. Cities with a population of less than 50,000 are eligible.
Housing Enabled by Local Partnerships - The HELP Program employs a loan-tolender approach to provide 10-year, 3% simple interest rate per annum, minimally
restrictive loans to local government agencies. The program challenges local agencies to
prioritize their unmet housing needs and to design housing programs that target their
particular priorities. This approach allows the local agency to more closely match local
housing policy and accountability with project performance. Increasingly, the program is
being used to facilitate affordable housing within more targeted comprehensive local
programs for neighborhood revitalization.
Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program was created under Title II of the
Cranston-Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act enacted on November 28, 1990.
HOME funds are made available on an annual competitive basis through HCD’s small
cities program. Individual grants of up to $3 million are available annually to develop
and support affordable rental housing, and $800,000 for home acquisition assistance to
cities, counties and nonprofit community housing development organizations (CHDOs).
Activities include acquisition, rehabilitation, new construction, and rental assistance.
Of particular note with respect to the HOME Program are the Rental Rehabilitation
and/or Acquisition Program and the Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) Program.
In the Rental Rehabilitation and/or Acquisition Program, funds are provided to a HOMEeligible city or county to assist owners of multi-unit rental housing that is in need of
rehabilitation to meet federal, State, or local building codes, or to assist in the purchase
and rehabilitation of multi-unit rental housing that is in need of rehabilitation. In the
TBRA Program, funds are provided to a HOME-eligible city or county to administer a
program to provide rent subsidies to eligible households. This latter activity is commonly
undersubscribed, according to staff at HCD.
Coupled with the HOME Program is a federally subsidized program called the American
Dream Downpayment Initiative, created in 2003. ADDI aims to increase the
homeownership rate, especially among lower income and minority households, and to
revitalize and stabilize communities. ADDI helps first-time homebuyers with the biggest
hurdle to homeownership: downpayment and closing costs. The program was created to
assist low-income first-time homebuyers in purchasing single-family homes by providing
funds for downpayment, closing costs, and rehabilitation carried out in conjunction with
an assisted home purchase. ADDI provides downpayment, closing costs, and
rehabilitation assistance to eligible individuals. The amount of ADDI assistance provided
may not exceed $10,000 or six percent of the purchase price of the home, whichever is
greater.
Joe Serna, Jr. Farmworker Housing Grant (JSJFWHG) Program finances the new
construction, rehabilitation and acquisition of owner-occupied and rental units for
agricultural workers, with a priority for lower income households.
Homeowner Grants: For rehabilitation or new home construction: Lien restrictions are

for federal and state tax credits for private and non-profit developers and investors who
agree to set aside all or an established percentage of their rental units for households at 60
percent of AMI for no less than 30 years. These tax credits may also be utilized on
rehabilitation projects, contributing to the preservation program. The program begins
when developers and investors apply for an allocation of tax credits from the California
Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC). Tax credits are awarded on a competitive
basis each year. Compliance is monitored according to Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
rules and regulations.
USDA Rural Development - USDA housing programs have helped over 2 million lowor moderate-income rural Americans buy homes. USDA also finances construction of
