Fox News
The California Department of Transportation paid more than $13 million to have security at 120 vacant homes, Fox 11 reported exclusively.
"Now that the project is no longer moving forward, our goal is to sell these homes and provide current and former tenants, as well as those who qualify for the Affordable Sales Program, a path to first-time homeownership," the statement read. The statement said "regulatory changes" were needed to "expedite the sale" of these properties. Caltrans said it is in the process of securing the homes and the security costs have been reduced since the peaks in March and December.More Related News
