The Verano Family Housing development proposes a new 71-unit affordable multi-family housing development providing housing for low and very-low-income households. This kind of affordable housing is essential to offering opportunities for working-families and residents to remain within their community at a time when housing prices continue to displace and price-out long-time community members.
The project’s siting is located near several amenities that are important for the health and well-being of local households. The project is located near Sonoma Valley Community Health Center, only blocks away and within walking distance. Maxwell Farms Regional Park is also within walking distance as are several full-service grocery stores along with El Verano Elementary School and after-school programs such as the Boys and Girls Club of Sonoma Valley. Centrally located affordable housing within walking distance to a myriad of amenities and services offers access and opportunities to fostering healthier families and more sustainable communities.
