Gini Rairigh fretted that her mobility issues could force
her to leave the home in Perris she’s lived for 38 years.
The 88-year-old artist who specializes in floral paintings
has trouble walking
uphill and up the stairs
leading to her front
door, which presented
a challenge each time
she left her home.
Doctors warned Rairigh
she might need kneereplacement surgery
and she worried what
would happen to her
two beloved dogs if she had to move out.
She’s not worrying any more.
Thanks to the City of Perris’ Senior Home
Repair Program, Rairigh can stay in her
home, paint in her backyard studio and
use the newly installed ramp paid for by
the fix-it program to get in and out of the
residence. Rairigh also received grab bars
and low-flow toilet fixtures to help her
save water.
“This is wonderful,” Rairigh said from
inside her home in the Indian Hills
section of Perris. “I could not have
asked for anything more. It’s a beautiful
improvement. I’m amazed.”
SENIORS
Elevating the Quality of Life for City of Perris
Senior Citizens Through the Housing Authority
Rairigh thanked Perris housing division employees
Rebecca Miranda, Stacie Dain and Luis Natera for
working with her through the entire application and
building process. Start to finish took just two months.
“I would have gladly waited six!” she said.
The Perris Housing Authority is accepting applications
for the Senior Home Repair Program, which makes up
to $10,000 in a one-time grant to make minor health
and safety improvements in your home. Those include
minor roof repairs, installing ramps, handrails or grab
bar, heating or air-conditioning replacement, smoke
detectors, minor electrical and plumbing repairs and
repairing or replacing broken steps.
Eligible residents must be at least 62-years-old,
occupy the property as their major residence,
meet HUD income requirements and live within the
City limits. The property must be a single family,
conventional detached home or a mobile home/
manufactured home with current California HCD
Certificate of Title 6. Interested residents are asked
to contact the City of Perris Housing Authority at
(951) 435-7220.

“D” Street, Monday – Thursday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. The cost for a permit is $7.50. NOTE: Yard
Sale signs are not allowed to be posted anywhere in right-of-way, streets, and sidewalks.
COMMUNITY SERVICES
(951) 385-4131
PROPERTY MAINTENANCE:
The Property Maintenance ordinance, Chapter 7.08, was adopted by the city to provide minimum standard for the
maintenance of property in the city to prevent unsafe and unsightly condition that might occur. Properties not meeting
these minimum standards are considered in violation and a public nuisance.
CHECK TO AVOID THESE PROPERTY MAINTENANCE VIOLATIONS:
• Overgrown grass, weeds and other vegetation
• Storage of scattering of debris, rubbish or trash
outside trash receptacles. Trash receptacles and/or
recycling containers cannot be stored on your property
visible from the public right-of-way. In addition, trash
receptacles and/or recycling containers cannot be
stored on the public right-of-way and must be removed
within 24 hours after trash pick-up.
• Debris stored on yards visible from the public street.
• Buildings or structures being constructed, enlarged,
alter, repair, converted, or demolish without the proper
permits.
WHAT CAN RESIDENTS DO TO HELP?
Each of us as a resident, property owner or business
owner in the City of Perris, owe it to ourselves and to our
neighbors to maintain our properties in a manner, which
has a positive effect on the overall appearance of our city.
The basis of the Community Preservation Program rests
upon each of us acting as good neighbors. We all have
property rights that protect us. No property within the city
may be used or maintained in a manner, which downgrades
the value, use, enjoyment or safety of one’s own or
surrounding property. You can help yourself and community
by maintaining your property in compliance. This can only
lead to improved property values and pride of ownership.
• Campers, RVs, trailers, boats or watercraft and other
mobile equipment stored in the front yard must be
in working condition and parked on legally paved
driveways and parking spaces and cannot overhang
onto the sidewalk.
• Storage or scattering of abandoned, discarded,
broken, wrecked or inoperable household furnishings,
appliances, machines and tools, or similar objects of
equipment.
• Vacant building or structures left unsecured, unlocked
or not boarded-up correctly allowing intrusion by person
or animals.
WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES FOR
NON-COMPLIANCE?
After a Code Compliance Officer makes an inspection,
you will be given verbal or written notice to comply within
specific number of days. Depending on the violation and
the effort needed to correct it, you may be asked to comply
immediately or given up to 30 days for compliance. If
compliance is not obtained within that period, a lien may
be placed on your property for non-compliance and you will
be subject to an administrative citation, criminal citation
and/or ordered to appear in court.
