Generation Housing is excited to endorse the Montaldo Apartments Development.
Montaldo Apartments will be located less than a mile from Sonoma Valley Hospital, a half-block from the Sonoma Valley Community Health Center, a half-mile from the Sonoma Valley Regional Library, and less than a mile from two major grocery stores and other essential services. We appreciate the intentional design of the outdoor community spaces which promote community cohesion. The proximity of this project in Sonoma enables most daily trips to be achieved either through walking, via a bicycle, or through the usage of the public transit system. This project also aligns with the Sonoma City Council’s stated goals of generating housing that allows their workforce to live where they work.
Montaldo Apartments will offer 50, 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartments, with 40/50 at “attainable by design” sizes of 750-925 square feet. Of the total units, 25 percent will be reserved for low-income households – 3 homes for extremely low-income (30% AMI), 5 homes for very low-income (30-50% AMI), and 5 homes for low-income (50-80% AMI). Inclusionary projects such as this are integral to creating economic mobility among lower-income households and counteracting decades-old ‘exclusionary zoning’ practices that have fostered racial segregation.
