New Developments
Donner Field
Sacramento Mutual Housing Association is developing a 21-home project known as Donner Field on a vacant field on 45th Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues. Construction begins on this single family housing complex in fall 2007 after years of building apartments and town homes. Plans developed by Sacramento's Mogavero Notestine Associates architecture firm call for two-,three-and four-bedroom homes, all with front porches and yards. Prices haven't been set, but 10 homes will be designated for lower-income buyers. To keep prices affordable, the land under those homes will be placed in a trust allowing buyers to resell their homes, but not the land. The project is on property that was part of the former Donner School on Stockton Boulevard.
Mutual Housing at North Highlands
Townhomes: Two-story townhomes, each with three bedrooms, three bathrooms and approximately 1,700 square feet, with an inviting entrance directly off the sidewalk and a two-car garage in the back. Affordable rent of about $800.
Walk-up Studios: Studio apartments located above the townhome garages. Perfect for townhome families with an older relative or adult child, these units can be rented either in association with one of the townhomes or independently. Affordable rent of about $550.
Permanent Supportive Housing: Studios and one-bedroom lofts dedicated to individuals who currently do not have any other housing and who can benefit from the on-site supportive services to be made available by Lutheran Social Services of Northern California and the Sacramento Department of Health and Human Services. Rental subsidy available.
Initial Move-in Expected by mid-2010.
New Harmony in the City of Davis
Sacramento Mutual Housing Association is proud to announce a new development partnership with Yolo Mutual Housing Association. We are joining forces with this sister mutual housing association to create affordable family housing in the City of Davis. In April, our two organizations jointly purchased three and a half acres at Cowell and Drummond Boulevards, almost adjacent to a small affordable housing property already owned and operated by Yolo MHA. This new development partnership represents SMHA's first foray into expanding outside of Sacramento County. Yolo MHA and SMHA have similar visions for affordable housing development and resident involvement and leadership. Both organizations, as well as the staff at the City of Davis who administer the City's affordable housing program, are committed to seeing that the new housing development is an environmentally friendly 'green' property and is fully accessible to people with disabilities.
