Construction is underway on Navajo Family Apartments, a 45‑unit affordable housing community in San Carlos. The four-story development will feature one-, two-and three-bedroom apartments for households earning 30% to 70% of the area median income. Eight of the homes will be set aside for residents with intellectual or developmental disabilities.

The County invested $3.4 million from its Innovative Housing Trust Fund to support the project, which is being developed by Community Housing Works.

Located in a high resource neighborhood, the $32 million dollar development is designed to promote long-term family stability. The site is close to transit, a grocery store, pharmacy, public library, highly rated schools, Mission Trails Regional Park and Lake Murray.

Future residents will have access to 58 parking spaces, a multipurpose community room with a kitchen, a computer lab, centralized laundry, EV charging stations, 22 secure indoor bike storage spaces and a children’s play area.

More information about Navajo Family Apartments is available on the Community Housing Works website. Move-ins are expected to begin next spring.
