Press release from the City of Eureka:
Linc Housing has secured another $15 million for 90 new affordable homes at three city-owned properties in Eureka (known as the “Eureka Scattered Site Project”).
The California Department of Housing and Community Development just announced Linc Housing’s Eureka Scattered Site Project as one of 18 projects across the state to receive federal funds for new affordable rental homes through the National Housing Trust Fund Program (NHTF). Linc Housing will apply for tax credits this July, which will be the final funding component needed to move the development forward.
The Eureka Scattered Site Project will include new affordable housing communities on city-owned properties at 8th and G Streets, 6th and M Streets, and Myrtle and Sunny Avenues.
The project has previously been awarded $30.1 million from the State’s Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program in 2023, as well as an Infill Infrastructure Grant of $750,000 in 2021, and has secured project-based housing vouchers from the Eureka Housing Authority.
If awarded tax credits, Linc Housing anticipates applying for building permits in early 2025 and completing construction the following year.
The city and Linc Housing have been working together on the project since the Eureka City Council approved Linc Housing’s proposal in October 2020, after a Request for Proposals process was completed. The aim of the development is to build affordable housing on city-owned parking lots as required by Eureka’s 2019-2027 Housing Element to meet State housing requirements and address the housing crisis.
