Affordable Housing Development Opens In Milpitas

MILPITAS, CA — City and county leaders this week celebrated the grand opening of a new affordable housing development funded by Measure A.

The five-story Sango Court has 102 apartments, ranging from studios to three-bedroom units. According to the county, the $86.7 million project was built with sustainability in mind, featuring solar power and electric vehicle charging stations, and within walking distance of the Milpitas BART station.

"Sango Court epitomizes the promise of what county leaders envisioned for Measure A," said District 3 Supervisor Otto Lee. "With the opening of Sango Court, we are on track to exceed our affordable housing goals, with nearly 5,000 deeply affordable housing units constructed or in the pipeline in 10 of the cities in Santa Clara County, extending from Gilroy in the south to Palo Alto in the north."

According to the county, 44 of the units are designated as permanent supportive housing for people and families experiencing homelessness, and seven are set aside for unhoused veterans. Sango Court was completed through a partnership that included the city, county, Adbode and Resources for Community Development.

Nearly $700 million in Measure A funds have been allocated to fund 56 affordable housing developments to date.
