Homelessness is a multi-dimensional problem that affects every community in Riverside County, every county in the State of California and every state in the union. The City of Riverside acknowledges that there are many subpopulations represented, each of which is unique and requires an array of options and wraparound supports to achieve self-sufficiency and housing security.
According to the 2022 County-wide Point-In-Time Count, the City of Riverside has the largest number of unsheltered individuals experiencing homelessness across the County. Specifically, there are 514 unsheltered persons with 410 sheltered within our City.
The biggest reasons people are homeless include family disruption, unemployment, and lack of income. Individuals reported that the problems keeping them homeless include: chronic homelessness* at 56%, substance abuse at 36%, and mental illness at 32%. Of the unsheltered homeless people within our City, 39% live on the street, 17% were found living in a tent or shed, and 16% were living in a vehicle.
Homelessness is prevalent across the Country, State, County, and City and is being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. To reduce the number of people living without adequate housing, it is crucial to continue to provide services, shelter, housing, and support for our marginalized neighbors.
The following goals represent solutions that were created with input from the community, end-users, experts, the Housing and Homelessness Committee, Mayor and City Council, and the Office of Homeless Solutions.

• Continue to work with developers to add housing units to the development pipeline.
GOAL 1: GENERAL ACTIVITIES
Work with property owners with
expiring affordable housing covenants
on how to extend the term of their
affordable housing covenants to
ensure tenants remain stably housed.
Affordable Housing
The City of Riverside must prepare an Annual Progress
Report (APR), submitted to the California Office of
Planning and Research and the Housing & Community
Development Department, reporting on the status
and progress of the General Plan, including the 6th
Cycle Housing Element implementation. The Planning
Division presents the APR to City Council in the first
quarter of each year before submitting to the State.
The City is mandated by the State to produce housing
at different income levels that meet the Regional
Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) requirement of
creating 18,458 total housing units
Receive Annual
Progress Report on 6th
Cycle Housing Element
The Housing Authority will market state
and other first-time homebuyer resources
and first-time homebuyer workshops to
help low-income households achieve
the dream of homeownership.
Leverage State and
Other Resources to
Encourage First-
Time Homebuyers
Develop a webpage whereby developers can
quickly identify housing sites identified in the 6th Cycle Housing Element and sites owned by the City- and
Housing Authority-owned, showing the zoning and
potential densities.

To address the affordable housing
crisis, the Housing Authority will
research dedicated funding streams
that can assist in the developments of
affordable housing units for extremely
low- to low-income households and
alternative housing options.
Research Ongoing
Affordable Housing
Funding Streams
The City has 689 affordable housing units in
the project pipeline for development that
include permanent supportive housing and
housing for families and seniors. Project
Legacy will provide 48 permanent supportive
housing beds with bilingual behavioral health,
workforce development, harm reduction
services, fitness, nutrition and other services
to LGBTQ+ youth, seniors, and people living
with HIV. The project will include permanent
supportive housing for 48 residents and one
housing manager. A commercial building on
the site will become an on-site community
Health and Justice Center, including
TruEvolution’s offices.
Affordable
Housing
Developments.
Assist families who have received a rental
assistance voucher with transition out of
homelessness by locating a housing unit.
Housing Locators educate owners, landlords,
and property managers on rental assistance
vouchers and the landlord liaison program.
They also work closely with the property
manager and case manager to address any
tenant related concerns.
Housing Locators
Create an inclusionary housing
program that helps develop affordable
housing within private developments
for lower income families by requiring
that a certain percentage of new
residential units are rented to lower-
income residents. Developers can also
be provided an option to choose an
alternative to providing the affordable
units in the form of in-lieu fees or
providing affordable units at a different
location.
