Mutual Housing at Spring Lake is managed by Mutual Housing California.
Located in the Spring Lake subdivision in the city of Woodland, Mutual Housing at Spring Lake provides 101 apartments and townhomes, supportive services, and community building programs for agricultural workers. The location is less than a half-mile south of Pioneer High School, directly across the street from Woodland Community College, and within a half-mile north of a public park located on Pioneer and Parkland Avenue. This community opened in February 2015.
Mutual Housing at Spring Lake offers affordable living for working families and individuals whose limited incomes prohibit them from paying market-rate rent. Of the 101 affordable apartment flats and town-homes, 100 are set aside for agricultural workers and their families earning 0 to 60 percent of the area median income. United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development (USDA-RD) rental subsidies help to make monthly rent more affordable. One apartment is reserved for an on-site manager.

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.
The property participates in the USDA Rural Development Rental Assistance program. This rental subsidy, available only to USDA Section 514, 515 and 516 properties, ensures renters only pay 30% of their adjusted income towards rent. USDA Rural Development Rental Assistance may not be available for all units at this property.
