- The 138,000-square-foot development in Cortez Hill "will transform the former site of the County of San Diego's Family Court into an affordable, intergenerational community for seniors and families with low incomes", in a transit-oriented area with access to public transportation, jobs, schools, parks and other community resources[1]

- SDHC awarded 84 housing vouchers - "63 vouchers are designated for seniors who have previously experienced homelessness, while 21 will assist eligible families with low incomes" - and provided "a loan of up to $7.955 million using federal, state and local resources", including HUD's HOME Investment Partnerships Program, California's Local Housing Trust Fund and the City of San Diego's Affordable Housing Fund[1]
- "The County of San Diego contributed $4 million from its Innovative Housing Trust Fund and provided the development site as part of its initiative to use excess county-owned land for affordable housing", and financing includes "more than $17.7 million in recycled tax-exempt Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds from the state" under a bond recycling partnership with SDHC, the City and the California Housing Finance Agency[1]
