Berryessa Transit Center Receives AHSC Award | |

In North San Jose, Affirmed Housing received nearly a $39 million loan and grant to build 195 affordable apartments next to the Berryessa Transit Center and make transportation improvements along King Road. The funds from the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Program support transformational change along one of the busiest transit corridors as more affordable housing, walkways, and bike and bus lanes are developed. Affirmed Housing Vice President Rob Wilkins spoke with San Jose Spotlight about the project and how it enhances the region’s safety and vitality.
