Hi! Anyone looking for an Assisted Senior Living Facility for your elderly loved one in HB? Just helping out a friend. They have a vacancy for a private or shared room.

This is from her: “Our residents receive personalized care in our facility. We offer assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), some of which include bathing, toileting, and grooming. We could also accommodate special diet requirements if needed.”

Hello fellow skaters,

I’m new to HB and trying to meet new people to skate with :). I’m a 24/M located down near the coast. If anyone wants to ride around downtown. Or head over to Edison. Let me know :). I also skate the church lot off 17th and Adams.

I’m hoping to put my EMT cert to use. I am a seasonal worker from Colorado. My Skoolie broke down so I’ve been trying to plant roots in HB.

Covid meant EMS ride alongs in rigs weren’t required and I was only made to complete my two hospital rotations for clinicals. I’m interested in doing a ride-along in an ambulance as it’s been a minute since I got my certification. Even though my scope would be less than it would be back home, I haven’t worked as an EMT and have only used my cert as a way to get pay increases at my seasonal gigs. I’d really like to get a feel for what to expect working in an ambulance.

Does HB fire allow for EMS ride-alongs? I’ve heard different things from different people. Does anybody have recommendations for EMS positions they’d recommend I apply to?

Why is the helicopter flying around so much at 2 in the morning???

This is a long shot but my dad lost his wallet tonight in the Vons parking lot on Edinger and Springdale. If anyone finds a black wallet please message me. My deceased grandpa’s license was in, if we could even just get that back that’s really all we care about.

Looking for affordable trainer for beginner weightlifting and Pilates. Who are you using and how are they changing your life?

Great Dane was always my go to, but they closed during the pandemic. I tried Cake Box a few years ago with disastrous results ( thank god they finally closed). I usually drive to Torrance to King's Hawaiian but baby's mom wants more of a traditional cake/smush cake, any recs appreciated!

Looking for a place to store my drums because I can’t practice in my apartment complex and I’m on a bit of a budget. I need something roughly the size of a bedroom to fit my set and my other instruments as well. Does anyone know where to get a decently sized unit for a good price in Huntington Beach, or somewhere nearby in the Orange County area? I would greatly appreciate it :)

Can I park at hunting harbor bay club parking lot and cast from there? Or at Calvary chapel parking lot? The little beaches like Davenport can I cast from there? Or from French park? All those little areas I’m scouting on my map is it game? I haven’t found anything online that’s says I can’t.

I'm a novice jazz piano player would love to find some friends to play with.

Hello everybody! I'm new in town from Alabama. I love it here the people are awesome and the air is so fresh. Does any body have an old bike they aren't using. I'm looking for a job also if anyone knows of anywhere hiring.

Apparently construction for new apartments are supposed to start early June. I’ve seen that Ulta is moving next to Whole Foods, and they are supposed to open that spot end of May. Burlington Coat Factory has been trying to close for a while now lol… seems to be taking a long time. Some of the smaller businesses by Burlington are already closing or going to be closing soon. Not too sure what stores are staying. Anyone got any idea or information?

Found at Carlsbad and bay meadow. She’s being taken to a vet for microchip check as well as vet check because she might have been hit by a car.

I posted this on facebook last week and so many people reached out with questions about the program that I quickly realized that it is not well known.

This CALHFA (California Housing Finance Agency) program is NOT for everyone but if you fit the box and win the assistance it can be a GREAT opportunity! Let me break it down for you and help answer any questions you may have.

• What is CALHFA Dream For All Program?
  • Under this program, CALHFA will contribute up to 20% for down payment or closing costs, capped at $150,000. This assistance doesn't need immediate repayment but is returned – without interest – upon selling or refinancing the home. However, be ready to repay 20% of any appreciation on your home's value, this is a Shared Appreciation Loan
• Eligibility

1. ALL applicants must be First-Time Homebuyers - this means that they have not owned a home they lived in, in the last 3 years. 
2. At least ONE of the applicants needs to be a First-Generation Homebuyer - this means that they have not owned a home in the USA in the last 7 years AND, to the best of their knowledge, their parents do not currently own a home in the USA or didn’t own a home at the time of their death. If the applicant were ever in foster care - they would be considered a First-Generation Homebuyer. CALHFA does audit for this so it’s VERY important to be truthful.
3. Be either a citizen or other national of the US, or a eligible non-citizen borrower
4. At least ONE of the applicants must be a current California resident
5. IF you do not qualify we can always look at other CALHFA down payment assistance programs that might work for you.

• Income Limits
  • The applicant(s) income cannot exceed the CALHFA county income limits which are quite generous. In Orange county, the annual income limit is $202,000
    • IF the borrower's income is less than or equal to 80% of the Area Median Income (we can go over this if it applies) they only have to give back 15% of the shared appreciation
  • Borrower can contribute up to 5% of their own funds on top of the assistance - this is not necessary
• Shared Appreciation
  • Example: Let's say you purchase a home for 700,000 and at the time of repayment the property is valued at 900,000
    • CALHFA will want what you originally borrowed for a downpayment/closing costs without interest
    • CALHFA will want 20% of the shared appreciation. In this case, 200k of the shared appreciation gets split - you keep 160,000 and 40,000 goes to CALHFA
  • This money goes right back into the CALHFA funding pool to help the next round of first time homebuyers. Other loan events may trigger the shared appreciation loan to be due - we will go over all of this later
• Important things to note
  • This is not "first come first served" - this will be a lottery format
    • In order to enter the raffle, the applicants must get pre-approved by a CALHFA Approved Lender, get a registration voucher from the lender, register through the CALHFA portal, get their CALHFA Dream - First Time Home Buyer Certificate and complete the submission
  • The registration window is open from April 3rd - April 29th (5pm)
• NEXT STEPS: 
  • APPLY ASAP. It is my job to make this process as educational and seamless as possible. I am a CALHFA Approved Senior Loan Officer with over 15 years of experience in the lending industry. My team is also trilingual in English/Spanish/Portuguese. There’s a lot we can knock out prior to submitting your voucher - For example:
    • Watch the required educational course, gathering documents, making sure this program works for you, checking credit etc.
• Whether you’re an agent trying to work together or a potential buyer - do not hesitate to reach out via DM or comment below. I am here to help:)

I’ve noticed several VRBO listings pop up in my condo complex that are not on Airbnb. FYI- short term rentals are not allowed by our HOA.

City of HB code enforcement cracks down quickly on unpermitted AirBnBs if you notify them. Seems like the city hasn’t caught onto VRBO yet.

Has anyone heard anything about the H-mart opening on beach? I’ve seen some construction crews but curious if anyone has heard anything about when it will open?

Moving to HB, any condominium recommendation? Pet friendly (cat)

Anyone looking for a tabby near Warner and goldenwest?
