Affordable Housing at Alma Santa Paula (Missing Middle)
The council turned 53 more apartments affordable for households earning up to 80% of county median income — filling the 'missing middle' for families earning too much for subsidized units but too little for market rents. Rents will still run roughly $2,355 to $3,266 a month.
