Jardines Del Valle is managed by MidPen Housing.
Jardines del Valle was named by the residents who experienced the transformation of the property site into Gardens of the Valley. Before MidPen stepped in to create community improvements and maintain its affordable housing status, Jardines del Valle was Murphy's Camp, one of California's oldest and most dilapidated bracero camps for farm laborers. With a complete renovation to the property, Jardines del Valle became a vibrant farmworker affordable housing community with amenities that include a community room, computer center, children's playground, barbecues, and a soccer field. MidPen Housing has won two national awards for its turnaround of Jardines del Valle: a Maxwell Award of Excellence from the FannieMae Foundation, and the National Tax Credit Excellence Award from the Affordable Housing Tax Credit Coalition.

Since this property has received funding in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a certain number of units are set aside for lower income households. Households must earn either less than 50% or 60% of the area median income (depending on the set-aside option chosen by the property owner) to qualify for these units. Rents in these units are capped at a maximum of 30% of the set-aside area median income (adjusted for unit size). Some rental units in this property may not be subject to LIHTC and therefore have higher rents and no maximum household income requirement.
