Led by Casa Familiar, an innovative development in San Ysidro, CA, will establish a Community Land Trust (CLT) to secure and maintain affordable housing. Casa Familiar’s goal is to expand home ownership opportunities and prevent displacement. Their current project, part of the Avantando San Ysidro CLT, will feature 103 mixed-use units designed for individuals and families with incomes between 30 and 60 percent of the area median income (AMI). The project is shaped by weekly community meetings and an architectural design competition, ensuring it meets local needs. In addition to housing, Casa Familiar will provide social services such as financial literacy education and public transit assistance, supporting comprehensive community development.
