The purpose of this project is to provide 40 units of multifamily rental housing affordable to and
occupied by very-low income seniors in Brentwood and East County. The project consists of 39
one-bedroom units and 1 two-bedroom manager's unit on a vacant site in Brentwood. The site
is immediately adjacent to Sycamore Place, a 40 unit senior development managed by CCH,
and close to shopping and services. The 39 one-bedroom units will be affordable to and
occupied by extremely low and very-low income seniors. Through its experience with other
senior projects funded with HUD Section 202 Housing for the Elderly funds, CCH anticipates
the majority of tenants will be extremely low income. All units will remain affordable through
recorded regulatory agreements for at least 55 years.
HOME funds were first provided to this project in May of 2001 and awarded again in Fall 2002.
Since then, project costs have continued to increase, resulting in a financing gap of
$1,082,301. Assuming approval of the additional required funds, construction will be initiated in
May of 2004.
The total cost of this project is $6,420,642, or $160,516 per unit.
