Teachers, faculty and students are vital to our community, and they deserve to live in the neighborhoods where they work and study. This is why we’re excited to partner with San Diego Unified School District to deliver its first affordable housing project! The redevelopment of the former Central Elementary campus will bring much needed affordable housing and community activations to the City Heights neighborhood. We applaud SDUSD for its leadership, and we look forward together to create a beautiful space that everyone can enjoy.

Last Friday as part of the Housing Partnership Network Next Gen Talent Academy powered by Project Destined, we had the pleasure to host University students for an #affordablehousing tour at two of our new developments in the City of San Marcos! The eager students first visited our newly completed community Alora, then took a tour of Estrella, which is currently wrapping up construction across the street. The students’ majors range from Real Estate to Accounting, Finance, Marketing, and Data Science. Affirmed team members shared insight into the different departments and opportunities available in affordable housing development. We look forward to continuing to add diverse talent to our Affirmed team in the coming years. Thank you Next Gen Talent Academy for visiting!
