It also flies by when you are very busy. For me, it has been a busy learning period, with a bit of fun thrown into the mix. One of the best parts of this past year has been to meet so many caring, professional people during my travels throughout the state. It has been a rewarding and positive experience to work with them. Our Subdivision Section is doing its part to implement the Governor s housing policies.
Staff now expedites all qualified affordable housing projects.
Also, we have begun to review and revise the subdivision application forms to make them more comprehensive and user friendly. Seminars targeted to small and new developers took place in Los Angeles and Oakland. They were well attended and received favorable comments. We also offered outreach programs targeted to the inner city and minority communities regarding how to buy a home and what to expect and demand from one s real estate broker and mortgage lender. Resources for financing and counseling were also provided to attendees.
