Document Description
Laing Companies and Valued Housing were selected to develop a site in the City of Covina with up to 60 units of affordable housing that would be 100% affordable and income-restricted to a range of lower-income households. The project will include approximately 60 one-bedroom units focused on senior households that will be affordable to extremely low and low-income households. To serve residents’ needs, the development will also include a community room, management office, laundry facilities, and surface parking. The development also includes common open spaces for residents. DGS intends to enter into a low-cost, long-term ground lease to allow for the residential construction and operation for the life of the development.
