( KRON ) — Sonoma County and the non-profit developer MidPen Housing broke ground Friday on 75 new affordable housing units for families in Santa Rosa.
The “Casa Roseland” development will include a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments. The new units will house families with incomes between 30 and 60% of the area’s median income, which is about $29,000 to $83,000 depending on family size.

Sonoma County Supervisor Chris Coursey, who represents the Roseland area, said that the investment into affordable housing will “pay dividends many times over.”
