The Tri-Valley Housing Opportunity Center—Helping Families Find Homes
The Tri-Valley Housing Opportunity Center (TVHOC), through its housing counseling, asset development and financial literacy education programs, helps area residents gain access to affordable for-sale and rental housing. Created in 2005 by the municipal and county governments of Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, San Ramon, and Danville, TVHOC primarily serves low- to moderate-income families earning 50%-80% of area median income (AMI), or $37,700 to $59,600. “Our program is unique in that the various cities, despite their own political agendas, have come together to build a one-stop center for the region to help with housing resources and to connect people to projects,” says Jacqueline Rickman, Director of TVHOC.

Calistoga Affordable Housing’s New 24-unit Project
In 2001, Calistoga Affordable Housing (CAH), a
nonprofit affordable housing developer and
advocacy organization, set out to increase the
number of affordable housing units in the city of Calistoga to help low-income
residents affected by rising property values and rents. Six years later,
CAH’s impact includes the creation of 26 units and the planned development
of the Palisades Apartments, a 24-unit complex for which NCCLF provided
a $169,898 pre-development general recourse loan. “NCCLF’s loan was critical
in order for us to meet an important financial deadline,” explains Erica
Roetman Sklar, CAH’s Executive Director. “The funds arrived literally
the day before the payment was due to secure full title to the architectural
plans required for a critical permanent financing application.” Read
