On February 29, new tenants, along with 125 government officials, and PSHH supporters attended the Grand Opening of Casas las Granadas.

"Casas las Granadas demonstrates that affordable housing for low-income households on the Central Coast is not an elusive dream but a viable reality," said Jeanette Duncan, Executive Director of Peoples' Self-Help Housing. "We cannot thank our donors, development and funding partners enough for their hard work, dedication and perseverance."

The complex is comprised of 12 new, permanently affordable one-bedroom rental units set aside for "downtown workers", especially those who do not have a car for their transportation needs. The apartments range from 485 to 575 square feet and are conveniently located at 21 E. Anapamu, across from the SB Public Library and within walking distance to public transportation. Casas las Granadas was designed to complement the downtown streetscape by featuring Spanish-style architectural elements.
