Housing for Farmworkers
Completed in 2018, this third development in the Los Adobes de Maria community is PSHH’s first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum project and features 34 units with environmentally friendly and energy-efficient systems. Housing is exclusively for families earning a substantial portion of their income from agricultural employment. Property services include site-based educational programming with after-school tutoring for grades K-8, support for those bound for college and workforce readiness programs for adults
This project has received some funding from a participating jurisdiction (local or state government agency) through the HUD HOME Investments Partnerships Program (HOME). In projects with five or more HOME-assisted units, at least 20% of these units must be occupied by families earning 50% or less of area median income (AMI). All other HOME-assisted units must be occupied by families earning 80% or less of AMI, but in practice most are reserved for families earning 60% or less AMI. Maximum monthly rent is capped with a Low HOME Rent for <50% AMI units and a High HOME Rent for the remaining HOME-assisted units. Contact the property directly for the specific dollar amount of these rent caps.
Section 514/516 direct loan and grant programs provide funds to support the development of adequate, affordable housing for farmworkers that is unlikely to be provided through other means.
