San Jose builder nets millions to transform housing, transit along Berryessa corridor

NORTH SAN JOSE will see a transformational change along one of its busiest transit corridors as more affordable housing, walkways and bike and bus lanes are developed — thanks to a multimillion-dollar state grant aimed at reducing carbon emissions.

Affirmed Housing Group has received a $38 million grant to build 195 affordable apartments next to the Berryessa Transit Center and make transportation improvements along King Road, which runs parallel to the site. The grant comes from the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program, which finances projects that integrate affordable housing and environmental sustainability.
