From the San Diego Housing Commission's press release:
More than 70 seniors experiencing homelessness in the City of San Diego will have permanent rental homes of their own along with supportive services upon the completion of a new development in collaboration with the San Diego Housing Commission (SDHC) that celebrated its groundbreaking today.
“I’m very proud of our progress in providing more affordable options and thrilled to celebrate the start of this construction for senior housing community,” said City Councilmember Vivian Moreno, who represents Council District 8, which includes the Nestor community where Nestor Senior Village is being constructed. “My heart is filled being here at this groundbreaking, and I’m looking forward to 18 months from now, being able to chat with some of those seniors.”
Developed by National Community Renaissance (National CORE), Nestor Senior Village will provide 73 studio apartments for seniors age 55 and older who experience homelessness. The development will also include one manager’s unit.
“The Nestor Senior Village development is an important step forward in the continuing efforts to address homelessness in San Diego—especially among seniors,” said SDHC Senior Vice President of Housing Finance and Property Management Colin Miller. “When the development is complete and residents move in, the San Diego Housing Commission will be helping them pay their rent. This rental assistance will help the residents here as they work toward achieving long-term housing stability.”
