A new 100% affordable housing project catering to seniors and low-income families in City Heights is in the final stages of construction.
“Sometimes with affordable housing, we tend to kind of warehouse. We put a bunch of seniors here, we put a bunch of veterans there, or families only over here,” Downey said. “Really having that cross-generational interaction is healthy and normal, and it benefits everyone who’s living there.”The building is tentatively scheduled to open in late summer., said the new development would help, but another issue that affects low-income residents in San Diego is a lack of middle-income housing.
“If you can only afford to pay $1,500 a month rent, you can't go rent a $2,000-a-month place, but you can go rent a $1,000-a-month place. And that takes it away from somebody who can only afford the $1,000 a month rent,” Tilkemeier said.
