Roseville Housing Authority reports 794 households aided; warns of federal funding uncertainty
Summary
At a March 5 Roseville City Council meeting, housing staff presented a fourth-quarter 2024 informational report showing 794 households receiving rental assistance through the Roseville Housing Authority and flagged possible impacts from prospective federal budget cuts.
Roseville Housing Authority staff told the Roseville City Council on March 5 that 794 families were served with rental assistance during the fourth quarter of 2024 and that the program faces uncertainty if federal funding is reduced.
Trisha Isom, Housing Manager in the Economic Development Department, and Susie Turner, Housing Supervisor, presented the quarterly status report to the council and emphasized that the item was informational only.
The report said 635 vouchers were utilized in Roseville, 146 in Rockland and 13 in other jurisdictions, for a total of 794 households receiving rental assistance. The authority is currently authorized to provide assistance to 845 households and received an additional 35 vouchers in 2024. Staff said RHA has 279 special vouchers targeted to residents at risk of homelessness, including a new Foster Youth Initiative Voucher for people ages 18 to 24 exiting foster care; referrals to that voucher are coordinated with Placer County’s children’s system of care and the program was slow to lease but showed improved trends in early 2025.
City staff said the Roseville Housing Authority was established in 1974 with 83 vouchers and that, since inception, the authority has administered about $132,000,000 in federal rental assistance to low-income households. Staff said current program funding serves roughly one in four people who need rental assistance.
Housing staff described work to strengthen relationships with landlords, including a landlord incentive program the city established a few years ago, and said program effectiveness depends on landlord participation. Staff warned that if landlords decline to continue participating or choose not to renew leases, tenants could face displacement even though tenants retain protections if they pay their share of rent.
Council members asked a handful of procedural and follow-up questions; staff said they were available for additional questions but no action was requested because the presentation was informational.
The presentation noted the Housing Authority intends to explore “productive and proactive solutions” to preserve stable housing for vulnerable residents if funding changes occur.
Staff closed the update and the council accepted the informational report.
