NEW YORK: The ninth entry for the seniors housing Global Awards 2016 has been received.
Dozens of Newport Shores residents stormed out of the Newport Beach City Council meeting Tuesday night — many shouting at officials as they exited — after it became clear that the council was going to allocate nearly $2 million to an affordable-housing project in their neighborhood.
The council voted 6 to 0 to allocate more than $4 million to three projects, each aimed at improving existing affordable-housing units or creating new developments to serve lower-income people.
The city agreed to give up to $600,000 to Habitat for Humanity Orange County to repair the homes of 30 low-income senior citizens and allocated $1.5 million to Seaview Lutheran Plaza to aid the rehabilitation of a 100-unit apartment building that is affordable to lower-income seniors in Corona del Mar.
