Affordable Housing
Please note, the City of Covina & the Covina Housing Authority do not operate any voucher, housing matching, landlord-tenant services, or other housing programs. We are only able to provide information about programs we are made aware of that are offered by outside agencies.
The Housing Authority was created to oversee the housing activities of the former Covina Redevelopment Agency.
ABx1 26 was enacted in late June 2011 effectively dissolving all California Redevelopment Agencies as well as terminating the source of the related twenty percent set-aside funding which was used to assist City housing programs. The Covina Housing Authority assumed the housing functions and assets of the dissolved Covina Redevelopment Agency. With the dissolution of the Covina Redevelopment Agency, there is no longer funding for new housing related activities.
The Affordable Housing List is a list that has been compiled by staff over the years as a courtesy for those seeking affordable housing. The City and Housing Authority do not own, operate, or manage the list. If you are interested in any of the listed properties, contact them directly to obtain more information. See the link below for the Affordable Housing List for senior and family housing in Covina and surrounding cities.

Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD)
The City of Covina is proposing to establish an Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (“EIFD” or “District”). The purpose of this District is to create a funding mechanism to construct public infrastructure improvements and affordable housing. An EIFD is a special financing district with defined boundaries that allow local government to use future tax revenues to fund infrastructure and public improvement projects (without creating a new tax). The District would include the Town Center Specific Plan Area and the Citrus Avenue Mixed-Use Corridor (map featured below).
When a new project is constructed in an EIFD, a portion of the incremental growth in property tax revenue (the amount above the property taxes collected in the base year) that the City of Covina receives can be put in a special fund to pay for the infrastructure projects listed in the Infrastructure Financing Plan (IFP). These infrastructure improvements can include public safety facilities, streets, parking, wayfinding and signage, parks and open space, pedestrian connectivity improvements, and other types of mixed-use and housing-supportive infrastructure.
Establishing an EIFD will not result in any new taxes or fees to the property owners, residents, or businesses in the boundaries or in the City. The City conducted a stakeholder’s study session, two public workshops, and conducted polls to inform community stakeholders and obtain input on priorities for infrastructure improvements. Meetings so far have included the following:
- Joint City Council and Finance Advisory Commission Study Session on June 21, 2022
- Virtual Public Workshop on July 27, 2022
- In-Person Public Workshop co-hosted by the Covina Chamber of Commerce on October 12, 2022
Documents related to Covina Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District are provided below.
- Fact Sheet with Frequently Asked Questions
- Covina City Council Resolution of Intent to Form EIFD – October 18, 2022
To oversee the creation of the EIFD, the City Council will establish a separate body, the Public Financing Authority (PFA), who will be responsible for the preparation of the Infrastructure Financing Plan (IFP) and its presentation to the public at a series of public meetings and hearings. The PFA will be responsible for administering the funds, subject to the approval of the IFP by the City Council. This website will be updated with all public meeting and public hearing dates, times, and locations, as well as with all EIFD-related documentation for public review.
