CCH Grand Re-Opening Garfield Park Village
- This event has passed.
May 16, 2016 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Garfield Park Village, a Christian Church Homes (CCH) senior living community in Santa Cruz, California recently completed a $33 million renovation with the goal of preserving deeply affordable, sustainable, senior housing in the city. Garfield Park Village is CCH’s first senior property, constructed in 1964. It is also one of the earliest affordable senior housing projects funded by HUD under the Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program. In 2014, it became the first project in the country to include a SPRAC, Senior Preservation Rental Assistance Contract, which provides project-based rental subsidies to previously unassisted elderly residents.
With the help of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development the City of Santa Cruz, National Equity Fund, Union Bank, low-income housing tax credits, and tax-exempt bond financing, CCH was able to fund the project and break ground in June 2014.
CCH plans to host a grand re-opening on May 16, 2016 from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Santa Cruz Mayor Cynthia Matthews, Congressman Sam Farr and Assembly member Mark Stone will be speaking at the event.
