New affordable housing is now open in Santa Clara County! The community of Milpitas recently celebrated the grand opening of Sango Court apartments, providing 102 affordable homes for low-income individuals, families, seniors, and veterans. Half of the homes are reserved for people exiting homelessness. 

A project of Resources for Community Development, Sango Court was built on a former industrial site using modular design and technology to help streamline construction increasing speed and reducing costs. The five-story building is part of a larger planned development of the area into a mixed-use residential neighborhood. 

Sango Court was funded by $5.1 million from HCD’s HOME Investment Partnerships Program and $14.5 million from HCD’s Multifamily Housing Program. The transit-oriented development is located half a mile from the Milpitas BART station and is near jobs, parks, schools, and vital services. 

The complex is all-electric and incorporates green technology including solar panels. On-site amenities include a courtyard, community room, outdoor spaces, and supportive services.
