The doors are officially open to Fresno’s newest affordable housing development.
“In all honesty, we all need help. This economy is really expensive,” said Dulce Cortez, a resident at The Arthur at Blackstone.
Dulce Cortez says she found out she would be moving to the complex last year and is grateful for the housing help.
“As a mom of three, I’m struggling, you know, it’s hard sometimes, but then again, it’s a good opportunity to be on housing because it lowers the income of our rent,” said Cortez
At the grand opening, she got a chance to see her future home, which has a community room, kitchen, laundry, and even a place to store your bike.
Located near Blackstone and Shields, The Arthur at Blackstone addresses a critical need across Fresno County.
“To the 41 individuals and families who are coming off the street who no longer have to worry about housing insecurity, who can get the types of services that they need, it makes all the difference to their lives,” said Tyrone Roderick Williams, the CEO of Fresno Housing.
