McFarland Celebrates New Affordable Housing

September 23, 2024

The Kern County community of McFarland recently celebrated the grand opening of new affordable housing! Sherwood Family Apartments provides 80 affordable homes to low- and extremely low-income families.

This new apartment community was made possible by more than $16 million from the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program, which is jointly administered by HCD and the California Strategic Growth Council. The complex was built on vacant infill land surrounded by residential properties and businesses.

A net-zero energy project of Milestone Housing, Sherwood Apartments has onsite services and amenities including a 5,000-square foot community garden, tech room, and clubhouse and is near schools, parks, jobs, and public transit.

The project includes substantial transportation upgrades including bike lanes, pedestrian pathways, lighting, bike storage, sidewalks, and a CalVans carpool service program. Residents will also have the opportunity to participate in on-site workforce development courses operated by Fresno State University and the City of McFarland.
