圣贝纳迪诺县监事会全票支持Legacy Village住房项目:有条件承诺拨款2800万美元

位于加州圣贝纳迪诺县的县监事会10月20日全票通过决议,支持 San Bernardino 社区学院学区(SBCCD)的 Legacy Village 住房项目,并有条件承诺从寄养青年校园储备金(Foster Youth Campus Reserve)中拨款2,800万美元用于该项目开发。
Legacy Village 由社区学院学区主导开发,规划包括由 Jamboree Housing Corporation 建造的88套可负担住房、由 The Annex Group, LLC 开发的180套劳动力住房与461个学生住房床位,另设约9,100平方英尺的灵活使用与餐饮空间,以及约9,280平方英尺的会议与社区活动空间。项目还可能服务处于过渡年龄段的前寄养青年。
监事会主席、第三区监事 Dawn Rowe 表示,为过渡年龄段青年扩大可负担住房机会,是支持他们走向稳定、独立与长远成功的重要一步。副主席、第五区监事 Joe Baca, Jr. 表示,Legacy Village 不只是提供住房,还将把居民与教育、就业机会和支持服务连接起来。学区校监 Diana Z. Rodriguez 表示,稳定的住所可能决定一名学生是暂停学业还是拿到改变家庭命运的学位。
县政府说明,此次决议与有条件拨款承诺旨在便利项目规划、争取资金机会以及协调住房与配套服务;决议本身并不保证拨款落实,任何与 Legacy Village 相关的财务协议或批准,仍须日后提交监事会审议批准。
San Bernardino County Board Unanimously Backs Legacy Village Housing Project, Conditionally Commits $28 Million
The Board of Supervisors of San Bernardino County, California, voted unanimously on October 20 to adopt a resolution supporting the San Bernardino Community College District's Legacy Village housing project, and conditionally committed $28 million from the Foster Youth Campus Reserve toward its development.
Led by the college district, Legacy Village is planned to include 88 affordable housing units to be built by Jamboree Housing Corporation, 180 workforce housing units and 461 student housing beds to be developed by The Annex Group, LLC, plus about 9,100 square feet of flexible-use and food-service space and about 9,280 square feet of conference and community meeting space. The project may also serve transitional-age former foster youth.
Board Chairman and Third District Supervisor Dawn Rowe said expanding access to affordable housing for transitional-age youth is an important step in supporting their stability, independence and long-term success. Vice Chair and Fifth District Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr. said Legacy Village will connect residents with education, workforce opportunities and support services. SBCCD Chancellor Diana Z. Rodriguez said having a stable place to live can make the difference between putting college on hold and earning a degree that changes a family's future.
The county said the resolution and conditional commitment are meant to facilitate project planning, funding pursuits and coordination of the planned housing and services. Adoption of the resolution does not guarantee funding; any financial agreement related to Legacy Village will be presented to the board for approval at a future meeting.
