If owning a home or renting in Morgan Hill is something you've been considering, preparation is key!
Below Market Rate (BMR) opportunity drawings are only open for a short-time period- typically 2-3 weeks- so being prepared ahead of time can make all the difference.
That's where HouseKeys comes in. As the City's program administrator, they manage the application process. Creating your account, completing the orientation, and uploading documents early can help you stay ready when opportunities open.
