Sonoma buying two apartment complexes to permanently secure 18 affordable homes

City of Sonoma officials said they have secured the purchase of two affordable housing properties, which will enable the long-term preservation of 18 affordable housing units in the community.

The purchase of Setzer Senior Affordable Apartments, with eight units at 673 First Street West, and Maysonnave Apartments, with 10 units at 270 First Street East, ensures the homes remain affordable for at least 55 years, protecting housing for low-income seniors and families, city officials said in a statement.
