No one would disagree Crescent City has a serious housing problem. The shortage of housing, especially affordable housing is profound.
The City is doing all it can, and then some, in addressing the challenge to provide adequate housing for all income strata.
Through its Housing Element, a State-mandated sixth cycle, a process conducted from 2022-2030, Crescent City is planning to accommodate at least 189 living units in the following breakdown from the California Dept. of Housing and Community Development:
• Very Low: 39 units
• Low: 22
• Moderate: 27
• Above Moderate: 101
/189 units
2025-26 are and will continue to be big years for Crescent City in filling the void in lack of housing inventory.
Here are the projects:
• H Street- Harbor Point Apartments is being built by Danco Communities, consisting of 26 Senior apartments and 1 Manager unit. This is a project the City has been working with Danco for over a decade and finally became feasible after the City was able to obtain a $5M Competitive Local Housing Allocation(CPLHA) grant. After acquiring the funding, Danco was then successful in being awarded housing tax credits which finalized the funding needed to build the development. This project is estimated to be complete and ready for leasing, late Fall.
• California St- Roosevelt Estate consists of 56 apartments built by Elk Valley Builders. The project has three phases. Phase 1 (16 units) and Phase 2 (22 units) were recently completed and are being leased. Phase 3 (18 units) is under construction with an estimated completion date of November.
