Mutual Housing California’s Post

We are thrilled to congratulate Mutual Housing Asset Manager Elijah Guadalupe for graduating from this year's cohort of the Asset Management Specialist (AMS+) Program! A big shoutout to Merritt Community Capital Corporation for their invaluable support in nurturing the next generation of leaders in the affordable housing sector. As we continue to focus on asset management, we recognize the importance of equipping these emerging leaders with the skills necessary to effectively manage and sustain affordable housing developments.

Congratulations to our partners at California Coalition for Rural Housing and all the advocates who helped support #SB1187! After nearly a decade of operating Mutual Housing at Spring Lake—which stands as an internationally-recognized success story in partnership with the California Department of Housing & Community Development and the State's Joe Serna, Jr., Farmworker Housing Grant Program—we have seen firsthand the importance of creating flexible housing policy to break the cycle of housing instability and inequities for historically marginalized communities. We applaud the leadership of Office of California Governor Gavin Newsom and Senate President pro Tempore Mike McGuire on these critical housing and homelessness issues. https://lnkd.in/gHwtzwMi

Request for Qualifications: Community-Engaged Art at Wong Center ⭐️ Deadline: Friday, November 1, 2024, 11:59pm. Mutual Housing California Housing California is seeking two artists or artist teams to create public art in collaboration with the residents of the Wong Center, an affordable housing community in downtown Sacramento.

We will host an information session on Zoom on Monday, October 7, 2024 at 5:30pm. ➡️ Visit arttonic.org/wongcenterart to find more information, including the RFQ document, the application, and links to register for the info session and office hours.

“There is a vital link between affordable housing and accessible public transportation.” Henry Li, general manager and CEO, Sacramento Regional Transit District (SacRT) https://lnkd.in/gGKFwNuj #Sakura #TOD #AffordableHousing #TransitOrientedCommunities City of Sacramento Capitol Area Development Authority (CADA) Amtrak San Joaquins #SJJPA

Mutual Housing is scaling up to meet the affordable housing needs of the region. With Sakura and Monarch, we're thrilled to be partnering with Capitol Area Development Authority (CADA) to increase the density of our projects and create more walkable and transit-oriented communities.

It was our pleasure to join with our partners Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento and Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency to share insights about Cornerstone. We appreciate the Deputy Director taking time to get a firsthand look at the innovative 100% affordable rental/home ownership project and neighborhood transformation.

“We reached out to everybody from different sides of the city, different neighborhoods, different areas, different time frames.” ICYMI, our partners at Capitol Area Development Authority (CADA) and Mutual Housing California collaborated with local graffiti artists, including Gabriel Lopez, to transform the walls of a vacant State-owned building into nearly 360 degrees of community-art, viewable anytime until early 2025. The event helped highlight the importance of integrating community art into places that too often left blighted by property owners for years while real estate deals take their often multi-year or even decades-long course to finalize. Together, the California Department of General Services, City of Sacramento, CADA, and Mutual Housing are helping ensure the creative economy of the State and Sacramento thrive. Located at 8th and R Streets in Downtown Sacramento, the site will be further transformed into the 241-unit Monarch affordable housing community—with construction starting February 2025.

We’re excited to share that Cornerstone, a Mutual Housing and Habitat for Humanity Community has been selected as the Best 2023-2024 Affordable Housing Real Estate Project by Sacramento Business Journal. We’re proud to be honored for Cornerstone and our leadership in developing innovative affordable housing models. With over 400 residents now calling the Cornerstone community home—between the 108 affordable rental apartments and 18 Habitat single-family houses—it is our partnership and collaboration with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento, Sunseri Construction, and Salazar Architect Inc. that has made such a deep community impact possible. https://lnkd.in/gr8igzVy
