Mayor Todd Gloria and the San Diego Housing Commission Wednesday announced that the state has awarded $45 million to San Diego for construction of more than 1,180 affordable homes.
"Under the leadership of Gov. Gavin Newsom and this Legislature, the state of California has been a committed partner for cities that want to be part of the solution to the housing crisis, and this state grant represents another major step forward for San Diego," Gloria said.
"Everyone in San Diego deserves a place to call home that they can afford," SDHC Board Chair Eugene Mitchell said."This state grant will enable us to develop a significant number of new units in the city that provide housing solutions for low- and middle-income residents."
