Thank you to HCD, DGS, and all of our partners and supporters who attended the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at Guardian Village last week! Located on a former armory site, Guardian Village was completed as part of Governor Gavin Newsom’s effort to increase housing availability under the Excess Land for Affordable Housing Executive Order N-06-19. Under the order, HCD and DGS identified and prioritized excess state-owned properties for sustainable, innovative, and cost-effective housing projects. The state provided nearly $5 million in loans and grants, through HCD. DGS also provided a 99-year ground lease to Self-Help Enterprises for $1 per year for the two-acre parcel for the development, valued at $700,000.
