Affordable Housing Opens In Clairemont

Regional leaders have marked the grand opening of two affordable housing developments in Clairemont for families with lower incomes.

The buildings, with 228 affordable rental units, are the latest phase in the transformation of the former site of the San Diego County Sheriff's crime lab into an intergenerational community on Mt. Etna Drive.

The county officials leased the former crime lab land to Chelsea for 99 years and granted the developments funding from its Innovative Housing Trust Fund.

"Today, we are seeing the second and third properties open doors at this location, where land was offered by the county through its initiative to use excess county sites to develop affordable housing," County Supervisor Monica Montgomery Steppe said. "This is also a first step toward many more projects to come."

A total of 58 units at the Modica and Taormina properties are set aside for residents with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Amenities at these units will include roll-in showers, grab bars, reversible shower seats and vinyl corner guards, among other features. The San Diego Regional Center will provide services for the residents, along with Southern California Housing Collaborative.
