CTCAC Actions

 
One Project Of Three Awarded 9% Tax Credits
 
La Entrada Family Housing in Barrio Logan was awarded $20 million of 9% low income housing tax credits during the first round of 2007.  The $37.9 million project will consist of 85 units, with 84 affordable.  The San Diego Redevelopment Agency is contributing $13.1 million. The developer, La Entrada Housing Investors, L.P., is a partnership of Simpson Housing Solutions and United Community, Inc. The managing general partner that will take over once construction is complete is the Las Palmas Foundation, an Encinitas based non-profit organization.
 
Two other San Diego County applicants, Affirmed Housing's Riverwalk Apartments in Nestor and National CORE's Mobile Haven Senior Apartments in Escondido, will have to reapply for the second round.  If no others apply, there appears to be sufficent available credits to meet the requests of these two projects in the second round.
