Housing push: Ontario Ranch, affordable units and continuum-of-care campus
Summary
City leaders described ongoing housing expansion at Ontario Ranch, with new residential permits and plans for a Continuum of Care campus using Measure Q funds to address homelessness and supportive services.
City presentations said Ontario continues to permit new housing units and highlighted several affordability efforts, including Vista Verde and Emporia Place expansions in partnership with National Core and related companies to add affordable apartments.
Speakers described Ontario Ranch as a large master-plan community with thousands of homes and the future Grand Park (340 acres) targeted for completion by 2030. Measure Q funding was cited for homeless services, including purchase and remodeling of a motel for temporary housing and future Continuum of Care and Access Center campuses intended to offer showers, laundry, counseling and up to 177 units for very low‑income households.
City speakers connected housing and service investments to broader goals of workforce housing, neighborhood stability and maintaining a balanced community that can support public services. The transcript included several permit and unit counts (e.g., 1,430 new residential units in one section and higher counts in later sections); those differing totals are reported where they appeared but should be cross-checked with city permit records for precise counts.
