Board OKs loans and tax‑credit approvals for two Sacramento affordable housing projects
Summary
The Board approved a TEFRA hearing for Shiloh Arms and committed $4.8 million in HOME/PLHA funds to San Juan Apartments Phase II. Officials and developers said the projects will add dozens of affordable units near Stockton Boulevard and Fruit Ridge.
The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors voted April 7 to advance two affordable‑housing projects that county staff said will add deed‑restricted homes for low‑income households.
At a TEFRA hearing the board heard staff describe Shiloh Arms — a mixed‑bedroom development with studio to four‑bedroom units that will set rents at 30–60 percent of area median income — and approved related tax‑credit and bond actions. Staff said the project includes community space, laundry and classroom facilities and will provide relocation for a nearby extended‑stay facility while work proceeds.
The board also approved a request to commit an additional $4.8 million in Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) and HOME funds to San Juan Apartments Phase II, a Mutual Housing project on Stockton Boulevard near Fruitridge. A Mutual Housing representative thanked the county and described the two phases (together nearly 200 units) as a public‑private partnership intended to provide stable, affordable housing for households at risk of displacement. The motion to approve the loan commitment passed 4–0 (Supervisor Serna absent).
Supervisor comments emphasized the link between affordable housing and homelessness prevention, and asked staff to continue monitoring project schedules and funding sources. Developers and housing partners said the projects depended heavily on a layered financing approach including state and local funds and would create new placements for households exiting homelessness and for households earning low wages.
No formal appeals or conditions beyond standard closing requirements were placed on the loans; staff said the county will provide further details and return with documents needed for project closing and implementation.
