Burbank Housing has a new development in Windsor named Manzanita. This development is part of their "self-help homes" project. Manzanita is a mutual self-help development offering affordable homes to first-time low-income buyer. Twenty-two homes, consisting of two, three, and four bedroom homes are available to eligible buyers. Each home is on its own lot with a private yard and an attached one-car garage. Some homes are detached, some are duets. The homes include may features and components chosen to reduce energy, water use, and protect the environment.
This program brings together households as an organized group under the supervision of Burbank Housing to build their new home community. It includes a primary mortgage financing with USDA, favorable loan terms, and a reduced cash down payment. The sweat-equity labor contributed by the household reduces the down payment. During the course of construction, each household is required to work a minimum of 30 hours a week. These crews work alongside experienced construction crews who guide the work and ensure that it is done correctly.
Buyers must have good credit, with low debt and stable employment. Buyers must not have owned a home within the last three years. Homes will only be sold to owner-occupants, who are permanent legal residents.
