The Housing and Community Development Division’s mission is to provide an integrated system of services, resources and opportunities to help people improve their lives, the lives of others, neighborhoods and the total community. Eligibility requirements apply to the programs offered.
A variety of services are offered to the citizens of Lake County. These services include:
This program assists low-income households with the down payment and closing costs. Homes purchased may be existing or new construction. The applicant must be eligible to obtain a mortgage through a participating lender. The source of funding is through State House Initiatives Partnership (SHIP). For more information, call (352) 742-6532 or click here.
This program helps low-income households finance repairs to their home. The house must be owner-occupied and be the primary residence. Mobile homes do not qualify. Please note this program has a waiting list. The source of funding is through SHIP. For more information, call (352) 742-6530 or click here.
Section 8 Rental Voucher program is funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. A rental subsidy is paid directly to the landlord by the housing agency on behalf of the participating family. The family then pays the difference between the actual rent charged by the landlord and the amount subsidized by the program. Eligibility for a rental voucher is determined based on the total annual gross income and family size. Applications are only accepted when the waiting list is open. For more information, call (352) 742-6540 or click here.
Lake County annually receives Community Development Block Grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. These funds are used to improve the living environment and quality of life for low and moderate-income citizens and their communities in Lake County. For more information call (352) 742-6516.
