The need for affordable housing is at an all-time high, and churches have the land to build it– they’re one of the largest landowners in the state. So why do churches have a hard time actually building it?
Some 51 Napa families could have a brand new address by the end of this year.
Manzanita Family Apartments, a cluster of 51 affordable rental units at 2951 Soscol Ave., is about half way through construction, said Susan Friedland, CEO of Satellite Affordable Housing Associates.
The project, located just north of La Homa Drive and facing the Old Soscol Way split, is due to be completed by this fall, said Friedland.
The application process for potential residents should begin later this spring, she said.

OAKLAND (BCN)
A miracle on Broadway is ready to receive formerly unsheltered Oakland residents later this month, city officials said Wednesday.
Formerly unsheltered families and seniors will start moving into Clifton Hall at 5276 Broadway, a Project Homekey property, on Dec. 28, Mayor Libby Schaaf and others announced at a news briefing. Project Homekey is a state grant program to protect unsheltered residents who are impacted by COVID-19 and at risk of serious illness.
More than 100 unsheltered residents of Oakland will have either permanent housing or short-term housing in the building, which was once a residence hall on the Oakland campus of the California College of the Arts.
