Critical Funding Comes in Time for Affordable Homes in Rural California

In 2017, Mammoth Lakes Housing — a small nonprofit community housing developer in the rural mountain town of Mammoth Lakes, California — set out to transform an aging industrial building into 13 affordable apartments. The team was discouraged, however, when the bid for the project came in millions of dollars over the funding they had secured. At a critical moment, Mammoth Lakes Housing secured Section 4 funding to move ahead with the development, now scheduled to be completed in 2025.

After months of technical assistance and training, the Rural and Native American Program team and Enterprise's Gulf Coast team led a road trip through Louisiana and Mississippi with CDCB. They visited project sites and held workshop discussions with cohort members on how to culturally introduce the MiCASita home grow model to their communities, and how this model should be scaled on a collaborative basis.
