Executive Director for Habitat for Humanity Riverside, David Hahn, addresses the crowd at the Mulberry Village ribbon-cutting ceremony on 06/23/2023
Named Mulberry Village, these cottages were constructed by professional builders, sponsor groups, and volunteers working side-by-side in a spirit of camaraderie to build safe, healthy, and affordable homes.
The project will provide stable and affordable housing, case management and supportive services based on client’s needs, and an opportunity for homeless clients to graduate into permanent housing. The City Housing Authority will own and manage the project, which must remain affordable for 55 years and rented to persons earning at or below 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
