A unique affordable housing community called Cornerstone opened this week in South Sacramento, offering everything from services for formerly unhoused residents to opportunities at homeownership. The first-of-its-kind project for the Sacramento region includes bright yellow apartment buildings located directly across the street from 18 single-family homes. Built by Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento, the homes will be owned by income-qualified residents who put in 500 hours of “sweat equity” to build the structures with Habitat volunteers. Cornerstone’s 108 apartments will offer housing for low-income tenants and include 16 units for people who recently experienced homelessness. Case management services will help those residents with rent, securing IDs, and mental health care, according to the project’s developers. The community straddles Le Donne Drive near 47th Avenue south of Lemon Hill.
