HOUSING ASSISTANCE FOR HOMELESS The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) awarded $700k to the City of Fairfield to support the Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) Program. Housing Services will work with the Homeless Intervention Team and Homeless Services Division to provide rental subsidies and security deposits to homeless and at-risk individuals. Depending on market rental pricing, we plan to assist at least 30 households each year. For more information on these programs, visit www.fairfield.ca.gov/housing. FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS The City sold one parcel of land to Habitat for Humanity, who is building three homes for low income, first-time homebuyers. All three of the three-bedroom, two-bath homes have been purchased by individuals who met program criteria and are putting in “sweat equity” on the build. They will move into their new homes upon completion!
FAST UPGRADES FAST transit service made several changes to their operations to remain lean and sustainable. These included eliminating low performance fixed routes, replacing routes with more efficient zones, purchasing smaller, more energy efficient vehicles, and launching an on-demand, micro transit service.

EV SITES The first public electric vehicle charging site is open at Allan Witt Park and available for public use. The four 50kW DC fast chargers are the result of an ongoing collaboration between the City, Electric Vehicle Charging Solutions, the Solano Transportation Authority, and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. A total of 31 DC fast chargers and 27 level 2 chargers will be installed across eight strategic locations including the downtown, park-and-rides, and community parks.
