The mission of the Housing Resource Center (HRC) of Monterey County is to provide a continuum of housing resources for homeless prevention and affordable housing opportunities. HRC fosters community stability, stronger communities, and personal economic empowerment through education, advocacy, counseling and services.
HRC's Landlord Gold Standard Program has been the financial component for collaborating and supporting participating landlords within our agency. Our Gold Standard Project will continue to provide:1) a $1,000 new landlord incentive; 2) up to $2,000 for unit repairs needed to pass a Housing Authority inspection; and 3) up to $2,000 for any rental arrears left by a former tenant prior to HRC's client moving in. These funds will also allow for an annual landlord appreciation event for new and existing landlords. HRC believes this type of financial service to landlords instills confidence in our agency's mission, and our ability to provide the landlord with a positive experience in collaborating with our clients. Our Landlord Gold Standard reflects HRC’s commitment to improve our community's housing crisis by housing the non-housed and improving the quality of housing provided through funded unit repairs.
After housing a bad tenant, HRC helped me by providing funds to repair my unit and bring it back to rental ready status. Thank you HRC. My unit has now passed HQS inspection!
