Habitat for Humanity to Begin RWC Affordable Condo Development Mid-2016

Back in February, Redwood City announced plans to distribute $4.5 million to four separate affordable housing projects.  One of these projects was a condominium development at 612 Jefferson which would be primarily funded by Habitat for Humanity.

A rough timeline for this development has been posted to Habitat for Humanity's website, indicating that construction would begin mid-2016, with homes for sale sometime in 2017.  The development will consist of 20 condominium homes (a mix of 1, 2, & 3 bedrooms), and will be offered to families earning up to 80% of the area's median income.

The location of the development couldn't be any more ideal (for those who enjoy city-living).  612 Jefferson is just three blocks away from the courthouse square, and walking distance from all that downtown RWC has to offer.

Fun fact: per a tweet sent out earlier today by outgoing RWC Vice-Mayor Rosanne Foust, "with the Jefferson Ave project Redwood City will have 71 Habitat homes, the most of any City in San Mateo County".
