Affirmed Housing Launches Construction in San Marcos

Affirmed Housing, a leading provider of affordable and supportive housing throughout California, has launched construction on Estrella, an approximately 79,510-square-foot, affordable housing development in San Marcos. The complex will provide 96 apartments to low-income families earning between 30% and 80% percent of the area median income.

Four residential buildings with a mixture of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments will comprise Estrella. A separate community building provides residents access to several shared amenities, including a kitchenette, computer room, barbecue area and bicycle parking. Four tot lots and a teen recreation area will also be incorporated on the site.

“Estrella is a win for the City of San Marcos and its citizens,” said San Marcos Mayor Rebecca Jones. “Between Estrella and the adjacent Alora development and working with outstanding community partners to help ensure smooth project delivery, we are adding nearly 200 units for working families and low-income residents.”
