Financing Sources:
Low Income Housing Tax Credits (9%), San Diego Housing Commission (project-based vouchers and loan), CalHFA Special Needs Housing Program (administered by County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency Behavioral Health Services), California Community Reinvestment Corporation, and Wells Fargo 

Resident Services:
Supportive services managed by Wakeland's partners at Father Joe’s Villages, MHS CityStar and Pathways Catalyst. Each resident has a dedicated case manager who works to connect residents with onsite and offsite services to address their individual needs.
