If you have a low or moderate income and want to purchase your first home in Los Angeles county, you may quality for financial assistance.

The Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) offers two programs to qualified first-time homebuyers. These are known as the Home Ownership Program (HOP) and the Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program.

HOP provides a second mortgage loan for first-time homebuyers with an assistance amount of up to $85,000, or 20% of the purchase price, whichever is less. This loan can be used for the down payment and/or closing costs, and has a 0% interest and deferred payment schedule, which means the borrower repays the loan when they sell the home, transfer the title, or no longer live in the home.

MCC offers a credit that can reduce potential federal income tax liability, creating additional income the homebuyer can use toward their monthly mortgage payment. This credit works by converting a portion of the annual mortgage interest into a direct dollar-for-dollar tax credit on their U.S. individual income tax returns.

To qualify for either of these programs, a homebuyer must not have owned a home in the last three years and the home must be owner-occupied.

For information on funding availability, program qualifications, and participating lenders, visit www.lacda.org, or call (626) 262-4511.

City Launches Updated Website The City has an updated website, www.diamondbarca.gov, that features a more modern look, increased accessibility, and improved functionality.

In addition to making the colors and graphics bolder, the redesign allowed City staff to change the way the information was organized to make it faster for visitors to find the information they need.

The homepage, for instance, now features buttons that link to the City’s most popular services based on analytics and public input. Also, the header and side menu buttons are now fixed in place to make navigating between pages easier without having to return to the homepage.

As with the previous design, the City’s website continues to have a mobile-friendly design that automatically resizes to fit different devices and screen sizes.

If you have any questions about the City’s newly updated website, or would like to share your comments or suggestions, contact the City’s Public Information Division at info@diamondbarca.gov or (909) 839-7055.

Beware of Rising Catalytic Converter Thefts Catalytic converter thefts are on the rise nationwide, and a disproportionate number of these thefts are happening in California.

According to statistics from the National Insurance Crime Bureau, California accounts for nearly 40 percent of catalytic converter theft claims nationwide.

Catalytic converters are a component found in One way to help all vehicles built in or after 1974. Their function is to deter the theft convert engine pollutants into neutral gasses. The of your catalytic mechanism that makes this conversion possible involves precious metals that include platinum, converter is to palladium, and rhodium. This makes them valuable have it etched... and tempting to thieves who profit by selling them at a scrapyard or recycler.

Stealing a catalytic converter is relatively easy – it takes less than a minute and involves the use of basic tools.

One way to help deter the theft of your catalytic converter is to have it etched with an identifying number such as your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or license plate number. If the visual deterrent does not stop a thief from taking your converter, the etched number will come in handy if it is ever recovered by law enforcement as they will be able to trace it back to the vehicle from which it was stolen, and may also support prosecution efforts.

Free Monthly Etching Events

On the third Wednesday of each month from 9-11 a.m., deputies from the Walnut-Diamond Bar Sheriff’s Station hold a free catalytic converter etching event at the parking lot of Calvary Chapel, located at 22324 Golden Springs Drive. The etching process only takes a few minutes, and is done on a first-come, first-served basis. Appointments are not available.

Upcoming converter etching events are scheduled for April 19, May 17 and June 21.

To learn more about catalytic converter thefts and how to protect it against theft, check out the March Safety Speak blog entry authored by Deputy Aaron Scheller posted at www.diamondbarca.gov/safetyspeak.
