Sacramento Council approves $35 million in funding for 820 new affordable housing units
Rendering of the KIND project, one of the developments approved in the council action to approve 800 new units of affordable housing.
Sacramento (Oct. 25, 2022) The Sacramento City Council Tuesday unanimously voted to approve $35.4 million in funding for 820 new affordable housing units and transitional housing beds in seven projects throughout the city, building on the nearly 2,000 affordable units already in the construction pipeline or completed in recent weeks.
The numbers represent a dramatic boost for affordable housing production and include innovative new concepts in housing construction and financing that will result in units being built at a far lower cost per unit than traditional affordable housing projects. They also include single-family homes scattered throughout Oak Park for low-income buyers and a rehabilitation program to restore houses in disrepair to livability.
