San Gabriel Valley Landlord Incentives Program


The City of Rosemead participates in the San Gabriel Valley Landlord Incentives Program (SGVLIP) which provides benefits and support to landlords who lease their units to tenants receiving rental assistance to leave homelessness.

This program is managed by Union Station Homeless Services in partnership with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments and various cities throughout the San Gabriel Valley.
