The Iris at San Ysidro when completed will be a new transit-oriented affordable housing community with 27 one-, 32 two- and 36 three-bedroom apartment homes for families and individuals earning less than 60% of the area median income, a statement from National CORE reads.
Additionally, 15 homes will be reserved as permanent supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness.
National CORE and the city secured a $5 million state grant to revitalize a 1.8-acre park, repair streets and build a crosswalk that links the improvements to The Iris in September.
“As we build more affordable housing, we are also upgrading infrastructure and amenities around new homes,” said San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria when the state grant was awarded.
“Everyone deserves access to high- quality parks, community centers, efficient and safe transportation and other infrastructure that supports the needs of growing neighborhoods.”
According to the developer, the city is overseeing the park restoration, sidewalk improvements and street work, which will include a high- intensity activated crosswalk — triggered by pedestrians and which generate multiple alerts to drivers.
“The Iris at San Ysidro is a much-needed project that will provide 100 homes to families in need,” said City Councilwoman Vivian Moreno, who represents San Ysidro. “This is a step in the right direction as we continue to build more housing units.”
The community is expected to be completed in summer 2025.
