Supervisor Yxstian Gutierrez Champions More Affordable Housing
July 24, 2024
Beaumont, CA – July 24, 2024 - Fifth District County of Riverside Supervisor Gutierrez broke ground for the Summit View Apartments in the City of Beaumont. The project will replace a dilapidated home with a two-story, 48-apartment community that will serve residents who have experienced homelessness or are at risk of experiencing homelessness.
Supervisor Gutierrez approved $6,000,000 in Housing and Homelessness Incentive Program (HHIP) funds for the Summit View Apartments. These funds will help finance the construction of the 48-unit multi-family affordable housing complex for unhoused or at-risk individuals in the City of Beaumont.
In addition to the funds, Supervisor Gutierrez approved the Section 8 Project-Based Voucher Program, which will serve as a rental subsidy for 47 of Summit View Apartment's units. Individuals will be referred by the County of Riverside's Coordinated Entry System.
Michael Ruane, president of National CORE, said “Summit View’s 48 apartments will not only provide residents with a beautiful place to live but will ensure that they stay housed so that they can continue to flourish.”
"Housing is a fundamental human need that should not be determined by a person's income," Supervisor Gutierrez stated. "We need to continue to collaborate on meaningful projects like the Summit View Apartments to provide quality, affordable housing for all.
The project will consist of 47 one-bedroom units and 1 two-bedroom manager's unit. Eight apartments will be for residents with mobility needs, and five will be for residents with sensory concerns. The apartment complex will have a 2,100 square foot community center that will be used to provide free on-site supportive services for residents.
