Clearlake is working on creating a new homebuyer assistance program to help retain city employees. The LakeCountyNews reports earlier in the month, the City Council directed staff to develop a proposal for the program, designed to provide a full package of incentives for city employees. Funding would come from a housing set-aside fund, the same fund that monetizes the homestead program. The council directed the city manager to come back to the council with a draft proposal.
