Picnic tables, BBQ grills, and outdoor space also help create a vibrant environment for various social activities.
Partners & Financing:
Sierra Village II was made possible with the support of the Wells Fargo Affordable Housing Community Development Corporation, Wells Fargo Bank, Affordable Housing Program (AHP) funding from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and a permanent loan from the California Community Reinvestment Corporation. Project funding also included No Place Like Home (NPLH) and Infill Infrastructure Grant funding from California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD). The City of Dinuba also provided passthrough financing from several HCD programs and has been an important project partner. Tulare County was a partner on the NPLH application and has committed twenty years of supportive services for the residents at Sierra Village. Services will be contracted by the County and provided by RH Community Builders. Additionally, the Kings/Tulare Homeless Alliance and Kings View PATH provided essential support to our homeless neighbors in completing the application materials and lease-up process. This project would not have been possible without the design team from Mogavero Architects and Civil Design Studios, and the high-quality construction work of the general contractor Ashwood Construction.
