San Jose council moves ahead with funding for low-income affordable housing project

SAN JOSE LEADERS have approved $7.3 million in Measure E funds for a very low-income affordable housing development in South San Jose.

The $45.4-million multi-family development is the latest affordable housing project to be approved under Measure E since city officials announced $50 million in funding for four projects last October. The 48-apartment project will reserve 23 homes for very low-income families and 25 for extremely-low income families. Developer Charities Housing will construct the project on 1.6 acres at 5885 Santa Teresa Blvd. behind the South Bay Dance Center.
