Family Promise of Santa Clarita Valley proposed the four 812-square-foot, single-story two-bedroom and one-bathroom apartments for single mothers and their families.
A second proposed building of 2,834 square feet on the formerly city-owned property would house four offices for Family Promise staff, one bedroom and three bathrooms for supportive, transitional housing, a communal kitchen and communal living space, according to a staff report.

Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station, confirmed on Tuesday that a female adult had been cited for unlicensed driving as a result of the crash, but was not taken into custody, nor found to be under the influence of any sort of controlled substance.
The suspect reportedly fled the car on foot, and was later discovered in a “muddy trench.”
“We had a visual of the suspect walking on the Freeway near Templin,” said CHP Officer Josh Greengard. “The suspect ran from us.”
Andres Jimenez, 22, of Pacoima, was arrested for taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent, and has been released on bond as of Wednesday morning.
After taking the suspect into custody, officials found paperwork that showed the suspect was arrested for being in a stolen vehicle a few days ago, said Deputy Arriaga.
The fourth pursuit occurred around 6 p.m. on Seco Canyon Road in Saugus, reportedly due to the suspect’s vehicle driving recklessly and potentially driving under the influence.
