Vernon Housing Commission Agenda Item Report

Meeting Date: December 15, 2021
SUBJECT
Housing Lottery for City-Owned Housing Vacancy
Recommendation:
Conduct a housing lottery to establish a priority listing for individuals who have submitted a
Unit Transfer Request Form or a Housing Expression of Interest Form for vacant City-owned
housing.
Background:
Pursuant to Section 3 of the Vernon Housing Commission’s Lease-Up Procedures for New
Tenants for Units Located Within the City of Vernon (Procedures), and to ensure that the
selection process for new tenants remains equitable and transparent, the City conducts a
housing lottery (Lottery) when a City-owned housing unit becomes available. The housing
lottery is a random draw of all names on the Housing Interest and Unit Transfer lists and
establishes a randomized order by which a vacancy shall be offered.
Currently, the City has a 2-bedroom vacancy at 4324 Furlong Place and a 1-bedroom vacancy
at 3382 50th Street that require a lottery. This lottery is being held to establish a randomized
order by which these vacancies will be filled. The other current vacancy at 3361 Fruitland
Avenue would be leased based on the list of prospective tenants established by the lottery
previously conducted for that unit.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.
