Housing and Community Services Division
The Housing and Community Services Division focuses on housing efforts, public service grants, unhoused efforts, below market rate home ownership programs, and is a resource to connect Gilroy residents to homebuyer assistance programs, accessory dwelling unit (ADU) programs, emergency housing, unhoused services, rental assistance, tenant/landlord services, and mortgage relief assistance. The Division implements the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), and the City’s Housing Trust Fund (HTF). These funds assist Gilroy’s vulnerable communities and create safe and healthy neighborhoods for all.
