The funding comes via the state’s Regional Early Action Planning program and will help create close to 1,000 new housing units.
The state of California awarded $14 million to 10 affordable housing projects in San Diego County through the Regional Early Action Planning (REAP 2.0) program, reports Amber Coakley for Fox 5 San Diego.
The program helps local governments address affordable housing needs and advance the state’s climate goals. “The $14 million will support 966 new affordable units expected to enter the market between December 2026 and June 2030, with over two-thirds of them available by 2027. The homes will serve a wide range of residents, including low to middle income families, veterans, seniors, refugees, immigrants, and single women.”
The projects are a partnership between the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and the San Diego Foundation (SDF), which will oversee the distribution of funds as part of ongoing efforts to generate 1,000 new homes per year.
