Industrial Site Revitalized into New Affordable Housing in Milpitas

October 29, 2024

New affordable housing is now open in Santa Clara County! The community of Milpitas recently celebrated the grand opening of Sango Court apartments, providing 102 affordable homes for low-income individuals, families, seniors, and veterans. Half of the homes are reserved for people exiting homelessness.

A project of Resources for Community Development, Sango Court was built on a former industrial site using modular design and technology to help streamline construction increasing speed and reducing costs. The five-story building is part of a larger planned development of the area into a mixed-use residential neighborhood.

Sango Court was funded by $5.1 million from HCD's HOME Investment Partnerships Program and $14.5 million from HCD's Multifamily Housing Program. The transit-oriented development is located half a mile from the Milpitas BART station and is near jobs, parks, schools, and vital services.

The complex is all-electric and incorporates green technology including solar panels. On-site amenities include a courtyard, community room, outdoor spaces, and supportive services.
