Different from the Below Market Rate Housing Standards, the following Workforce Housing Program apply to housing units that are deed-restricted for Workforce Housing, ensuring that the unit is attainable to households earning between 121% and 160% of the area median income (AMI), as established by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

The Avila Ranch Workforce Housing Standards apply to only units within the Avila Ranch development project that are deed-restricted to families that qualify within a "workforce" level of income. 

**What is defined as Workforce Income in these Standards is exclusively only for the Avila Ranch development and is not an official income level designated by the State Dept. of Housing and Community Development (HCD).**

Down Payment Assistance – Avila Ranch

Avila Ranch has agreed to provide down payment assistance of 5% of the purchase price up to a limit of $20,000 as a “silent second” on the initial sale of the 25 Workforce homes. The DPA loan would be repaid upon sale of the unit or refinancing, and the proceeds would be placed in a revolving loan fund to assist future workforce, moderate, or lower income home buyers in Avila Ranch.
