The Tulare County Resource Management Agency tries to bring as many of these homes up to code. They can do about 12 a year, but this year they have 450 people on the waiting list to get their homes fixed. "With the foreclosures that are going on, we have had a lot more people apply or a lot of people apply or a lot more people removed from their homes and we need to go out and improve our housing stock."
Tulare County is now working to get a state grant to help fix up homes in eight areas including Orosi, Goshen and Ivanhoe.
