Citrus Heights celebrated the grand opening of Sunrise Pointe, a new affordable housing complex, on January 11, 2024. The 47-unit development offers a supportive environment for individuals and families who experienced homelessness, including those with mental health challenges.

The project was supported by HCD’s No Place Like Home (NPLH) program and was among the first to receive NPLH funding in the Sacramento region. A collaboration between Jamboree Housing and Hope Cooperative, this is the first affordable housing project approved by the city of Citrus Heights in twenty years. In addition to being 100% affordable, Sunrise Pointe offers residents amenities including a community kitchen, multi-purpose space, computer room, picnic/BBQ area, playground, and a sports court, and it is located near schools, transit, and essential services.

Adriana Gomez moved into Sunrise Pointe with her two children and said she feels immense relief in her new home.

"When you've been bouncing around for a long time, and to finally be settled in your place, it is a great joy. It's priceless,” Gomez said.
