Seven New Affordable Homes are Available in Modesto

The City of Modesto recently celebrated the grand opening of a new housing complex to support people experiencing homelessness. 835 California Avenue, the site of the new housing project, started off as a single-family home. With help from the Stanislaus County Affordable Housing Corporation, the city was able to convert this singular home into seven affordable multifamily units.

835 California provides essential housing and resources for vulnerable populations, including supportive services for those with behavioral health challenges.

HCD was able to contribute almost $1.7 million to this important project through the No Place Like Home (NPLH) Program. This program, much like voter-approved Proposition 1’s Homekey+ program, provides supportive services and mental health care to persons with behavioral health challenges who are chronically homeless, homeless, or at-risk of becoming chronically homeless.

835 California serves as a reminder to all California communities that big steps aren’t the only important steps. To create enough housing that is affordable to all, every new home matters.
