We are so excited about our most recent new $20 million dollar Affordable Housing Project which has been built on West Holt Ave in Pomona, California. The Parkside Family Apartments is a new construction project of 62 low income rental units located at 934 & 942 West Holt Avenue in the City of Pomona.
The project has been financed with 9% tax credits low interest loans from the Pomona Housing Authority, a long term residual receipts loan from Tri-City Mental Health Authority’s (TCMHA) MHSA housing loan account administered by Cal HFA, conventional construction and takeout loans.
Shield Village & Tivoli Plaza Low Income Inter-generational Housing Project for Seniors & Families: On June 28, 2007, a ground-breaking ceremony was held commemorating the start of construction on a $23.0 million 90-unit intergenerational facility. This project represents a joint venture between the Community Builders Association - a subsidiary of Shield of Faith Economic Development, The Related Companies, Union Bank, Shield of Faith Christian Center and the City of Pomona.
Our organization has developed two tax credit affordable housing projects totaling 152 units. The senior component, Tivoli Plaza, has approximately 63 units, comprised of 80% one bedroom units and 20% two-bedroom units. These units are located in one 3-story building consisting of stacked flats.
The innovative family component, Shield Village, has approximately 27, 2-story town homes with three bedrooms and two and a half baths. Of the total, 19 town homes are approximately 1,220 sq. ft. in size with a 2-car attached garage.
We were also recently granted a 16 unit affordable housing apartment complex in the City of Compton California, from the Los Angeles County Community Housing Development Commission.

The HOME Investment Partnership Program is the largest federal block grant to state and metropolitan local governments designed exclusively to create affordable housing for low-income households.
Who Needs Affordable Housing?
Families who pay more than 30 percent of their income for housing are considered cost burdened and may have difficulty affording necessities such as food, clothing, transportation and medical care. An estimated 12 million renter and homeowner households now pay more than 50 percent of their annual incomes for housing.
A family with one full-time worker earning the minimum wage cannot afford the local fair-market rent for a two-bedroom apartment anywhere in the United States.
Where Can Individuals Find Assistance?
Individuals looking for assistance can:
Find rental, homebuyer, and homeowner assistance
through the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development.
What is an affordable housing program?
Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) is a Federal housing assistance program that provides tax incentives to owners of affordable housing. The program does not provide direct assistance to renters and is strictly used to finance the construction.
