Roseville, CA – Meta Housing Corporation, a Los Angeles-based developer, in a joint venture partnership with Western Community Housing, Inc., a Southern California-based non-profit public benefit corporation, has announced the development of Main Street Plaza Apartments, consisting of a 44-unit mixed-use affordable housing complex with 3,000 square feet of community-integrated commercial space, a 21-unit affordable housing complex and a public pedestrian paseo in Roseville, California.

The $32.8 million project will provide affordable housing for low-income families, veterans, and special needs individuals.

Main Street Plaza Apartments will be located at the northeast corner of Washington Boulevard and Main Street'  The project is expected to be completed in Fall 2020. 

 Of the 65 apartment units to be built at the property, 19 will serve veterans receiving HUD VASH rental subsidy, while 11 units will serve low income households through the Housing Choice Voucher program; both rental subsidy contracts were awarded to the project and contracted through the Roseville Housing Authority.

Supportive services funding and development assistance through the Placer County MHSA program, will ensure that 10 of the 11 general voucher units will serve households with special needs.
