Project Goals

The Homestake parcel represents an opportunity to create a mixed-income housing community in a central in-town location close to jobs, services, transit, and public amenities. Seeking to accommodate the full-time work force and families with an affordable rental project, the City Council set a goal for Homestake to provide 80% of the units to be affordable for individuals and families averaging just 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI), in a mix of unit types from studios to three bedroom units able to accommodate families. The project will have professional on-site management and amenities to serve the residents of the project.
