According to Habitat Calaveras Executive Director Lynne Ayers, the funding will go towards continuing construction of their Eureka Oaks Development in Angel’s Camp.
“These funds will allow us to complete the infrastructure of underground work as well as the streets, sidewalks, and lights and set the scene for the vertical build of single-family homes, condos, and a neighborhood park,” Ayers wrote in a news release.
Eureka Oaks is slated to be the largest workforce housing development project in the history of Angel’s Camp with a total build-out of 107 homes.
The project will include, two, three and four-bedroom homes up to 1,436 square feet and will be governed under a homeowners’ association.
