The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) intends to release Guidelines and a Super Notice of Funding Availability (Super NOFA) for the CalHome Program and the homeownership elements of the Joe Serna, Jr. Farmworker Housing Grant Program (“Serna Homeownership”) in 2022. The Guidelines and Super NOFA will implement the requirements of Assembly Bill 434.
The Homeownership Super NOFA will not include funds for multifamily rental housing; Serna multifamily rental projects should apply for funding under HCD's next Multifamily Housing Super NOFA in 2023.
