San Carlos Affordable Housing Project Breaks Ground on 44 New Homes

The City of San Diego held a groundbreaking ceremony on June 17, 2026, for the Navajo Family Apartments, a new affordable housing project consisting of 44 homes. The project is a collaborative effort involving multiple partners including Community Housing Works, the San Diego Housing Commission, Columbia Bank, the National Equity Fund, and the San Diego Regional Center. The Housing Commission awarded approximately $3.4 million in loans and eight rental housing vouchers to support the project, ensuring affordability for families earning 30 to 70% of the area median income for 55 years. The project also includes units reserved for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, with supportive services provided on site. City and county officials emphasized the importance of affordable housing as a critical issue and highlighted the expedited permitting process and financial investments such as the $3 million Bridge to Home program funding. The meeting underscored the complex financing and partnership structure necessary to advance affordable housing developments in San Diego.
