Affordable Housing

Overview

Affordable Housing
Vicara at Whitney Ranch

The City of Rocklin’s Affordable Housing program consists of the condos at Vicara at Whitney Ranch. The Vicara at Whitney Ranch project provided 264 low income condos, with 2 and 3 bedroom units. Resale restrictions remain on the unit to maintain affordability for 30 years. 

The 2024 gross annual income limit for the 2 bedrooms is $84,900 and $94,300 for the 3 bedrooms. The maximum Affordable Purchase Price is $271,943 for the 2 bedrooms and $306,820 for the 3 bedrooms. 

The City recently updated our processes and will only review applications of those selected by a current seller. To view available properties, please see the Affordable Housing Units on the Market list below. Once a qualified buyer has been selected by the seller, the City will review the Affordable Housing Program Application in its entirety and all supplemental documents.

Some condos have a previous down payment assistance (DPA) loan from the City of Rocklin.  The City of Rocklin no longer provides funds for any new loans, which means loans are to be transferred from the seller of the property to the new buyer. Loans range from $8,000 to $25,000 and if the applicant is approved to the program, the application is also automatically approved for the loan.
