“Our mission is to create affordable housing solutions that address our community’s critical needs,” said Linda Braunschweiger, CEO of Housing Trust Fund VC. “The spirit of this development and its emphasis on providing affordable housing for those at risk of becoming or are currently unhoused speaks both to the hope that we provide for the community and the distinct need that we are addressing.”
 
The Topa Vista Villas will provide 28 three-bedroom units, 28 two-bedroom units, and 55 one-bedroom units reserved for households earning at or below 60% of Area Median Income (AMI), along with a three-bedroom manager’s unit. Of these, 35% of units will be reserved for formerly unhoused households earning 30% AMI or less. This development directly addresses the housing and homelessness challenges identified in the 2024 Homeless Count and contributes to Santa Paula achieving 80% of its Very-Low Income Regional Housing Needs Allocation goals. The development is also designed to meet Tax Credit Allocation Committee’s Large Family standards.
