The Yuba County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted Resolution 2026-80 on September 22, formally authorizing the county’s Community Development and Services director or a designated representative to submit a joint application for the Homekey+ program. This application will be submitted in partnership with Onyx Investment Group to the California Department of Housing and Community Development, according to the board’s summary of proceedings.
This resolution also grants authority for the execution of all necessary documents required for the application process. These documents are subject to thorough review and approval by County Counsel and Risk Management, as outlined in the same board summary.
The vote on the resolution was 5-0, with all supervisors casting their votes in favor. Supervisors Andy Vasquez, Renick House, Seth Fuhrer, Gary Bradford, and Jon Messick participated in the unanimous decision. Assistant Director Kevin Perkins provided the board with a brief recap of the matter prior to the vote, the proceedings state.
It is important to clarify that this action exclusively authorizes Yuba County, in conjunction with Onyx Investment Group, to pursue and seek funding through the Homekey+ program. The proceedings reviewed by the board do not indicate that the state has awarded any grant funding at this time; the authorization is solely for the submission of the application.
The public records from the proceedings reviewed do not identify several key details regarding a potential project that might result from this application. Specifically, a proposed project site has not been identified, nor have the number of housing units anticipated, the specific affordability terms for future residents, or the particular population intended to be served by any potential development. Furthermore, the requested award amount for the application was not disclosed within the proceedings that were reviewed.
The record likewise does not specify whether Yuba County intends to contribute any land, financial resources, or other assets should the joint application with Onyx Investment Group ultimately prove successful in securing state Homekey+ funding.
Such detailed information — including the precise project site, the total number of units, the affordability criteria, the target population, the specific funding amount requested, and any potential county contributions — would typically be presented within the comprehensive application itself or its related attachments. These particular documents were not included as part of the proceedings that were reviewed by the county board.
