Manages and maintains SDHC's properties;
Administersloans, grants, and other mechanisms to help people with modest incomes become first-time homebuyers;
Monitor thousands of housing units governed by affordable housing policies and regulations; and
When federal funding is available, providing low-cost loans and grants to helplow-income homeowers renovate homes, improve access for the disabled, or remove or neutralize toxic lead paint.
