Meeting Date: June 29, 2022
SUBJECT
Housing Lotteries for City-Owned Housing
Recommendation:
Conduct housing lotteries to establish randomized order to fill three vacancies in City-owned
housing.
Background:
Pursuant to the New Tenant Lease Procedures, and to ensure that the selection process for
new tenants remains equitable and transparent, the City conducts a housing 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. The New Tenant Lease Procedures and housing lottery
information are available on the City's website at www.cityofvernon.org/housing.
Currently, the City has the following vacancies that require a lottery:
One-bedroom apartment at 3382 50th Street
Two-bedroom house at 4324 Furlong Place; and
Three-bedroom house at 3357 Fruitland Avenue.
Pursuant to New Tenant Lease Procedures Section 2, the Notice of Available Housing was
posted at City Hall on May 26, 2022, and published in the Los Angeles Wave (Huntington Park
Bulletin) on June 2, 2022. The available units were widely publicized on the City's website and
social media outlets.
Per Section 3, all new applicants and those with valid transfer requests were emailed notice of
available units on June 16, 2022. Those responding as still interested will be included in the
lottery. There are valid transfer requests for the two and three-bedroom homes so the lottery
will be conducted for positions two and on. Three separate lotteries will be conducted for the
three separate units.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.
