MidPen Housing and Abode Services partnered to develop Laguna Commons, which will provide much needed supportive housing for individuals and families, including veterans and formerly homeless households, in Fremont's Irvington District. Laguna Commons began construction in spring 2015 and will welcome residents in fall 2016. To best support residents with special needs, services will be well integrated into the fabric of the community at Laguna Commons. Supportive Services staff will be onsite to help all residents access a wide range of programs. In addition to the services provided specifically for formerly homeless residents and veterans, there will be health and wellness programs offered to all residents.
Laguna Commons is not currently accepting applications.

Since this property has received funding through the HUD Section 236 program and the Rental Assistance Program (RAP), a tenant who earns 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI) or less qualifies for rental assistance. The rental assistance limits the tenant rent contribution to the greater of 10% of their gross income, 20% of their adjusted income, or a designated portion of welfare assistance. If a tenant's income is above the 50% AMI level, they may still qualify to live here but not benefit from the rent subsidy.
Since this property has received funding in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a certain number of units are set aside for lower income households. Households must earn either less than 50% or 60% of the area median income (depending on the set-aside option chosen by the property owner) to qualify for these units. Rents in these units are capped at a maximum of 30% of the set-aside area median income (adjusted for unit size). Some rental units in this property may not be subject to LIHTC and therefore have higher rents and no maximum household income requirement.
Laguna Commons is managed by MidPen Housing.
