NEW YORK: The one hundred and sixty-third entry for the seniors housing Global Awards 2016 has been received.
The Sacramento City Council on Tuesday night approved funding for the first LGBT-friendly senior affordable housing project in the Sacramento region.
The project will consist of 53 units on currently empty lots at 16th and F streets in the Washington Park neighborhood. The project is specifically LGBT-friendly, but is not exclusively for that community.
Opponents say they object to the location of the project, not the project itself.
The council approved the project unanimously, but Councilman Eric Guerra recused himself from deliberations because his sister is the project manager.
The Washington Park Neighborhood Improvement Group submitted a letter opposing the project, along with a petition with signatures from 17 neighborhood residents and 12 businesses in the surrounding area.
