CUPERTINO — In a first-of-its-kind project, the city is preparing to build 40 new homes designated for low-income residents and those with developmental disabilities.
The project will be located along Mary Avenue next to Highway 85 on less than an acre of city-owned property. Half of the units will be set aside for adults and families with children who have such disabilities and the rest for those who make 50% or less of Santa Clara County’s area median income, which is around $184,300 a year for a family of four. A completion date has not been finalized.
The City Council needs to approve the property’s lease and any additional funding for the project before construction can begin, according to deputy city manager Tina Kapoor. The project will likely rely on multiple funding sources, including from the city, county and state.
