Sacramento city and county officials are teaming up with housing nonprofit EAH Housing to construct a 140-unit affordable housing complex available for residents making between 30% and 60% of the area's median income. Two five-story buildings with two- and three-bedroom apartments are set to be developed on the housing location at Broadway & 19th streets, ABC10 reports.
In addition to the project's affordable housing units, 37 units will be funded through the Mental Health Services Act for Sacramento residents with serious mental illness at risk of becoming homeless.
“To inject this ray of hope for people who deserve the dignity of being housed and to revitalize this historic business corridor,” [Darrell] Steinberg said. “What could be better than that?”
Steinberg touts the groundbreaking as part of a $15 million revamp that will make the Broadway corridor more welcoming for pedestrians and cyclists.
