Woman settles into new affordable housing as she finds out she’s cancer-free

SAN MARCOS, Calif. (KGTV) – Plenty of people are settling into the close to 100 new affordable housing units in San Marcos. The complex is called Estrella.

The $2.64 million project is a partnership with the city of San Marcos, San Diego County, and an affordable housing group called Affirmed Housing .

I’m thankful. I’m so glad I’m here,” Lissette Rincon, who is living at Estrella Affordable Housing Complex, said.

Rincon is thankful for being here in this San Marcos apartment and much more.

“They just did a biopsy two weeks ago and they just told me that I’m cancer-free,” Rincon said.

After years of living with her parents, there was a desire to be independent.

“But with Hodgkins and everything, everything was all over the place, it was just hard for me,” Rincon said.

Outside of battling stage two Hodgkins-lymphoma for seven months, Rincon and her parents had another battle.

“We had to leave because the rent was so high. It was like $3,400 when we were paying like $2,000,” Rincon said.
