The City of Vernon leases one and two-bedroom apartments and two and three-bedroom single family homes. The City is committed to managing its City-owned housing at the highest levels of fairness and impartiality.

An independent Housing Commission comprised of seven board members oversees management of the City-owned housing stock and related matters including leasing, rent setting, and maintenance.

Pursuant to the policies and procedures adopted by the Vernon Housing Commission, as vacancies occur, a lottery is scheduled if more than one (1) applicant confirms an interest in the available housing unit.

Lotteries are conducted by the City Clerk during Housing Commission meetings.
