WEST SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) – The City of West Sacramento continues to lead the region in affordable housing as its latest development, The Bridge at West Gateway, 802 Delta Lane, celebrated its grand opening June 25.

The four-story, 60-unit project was completed by the city in partnership with Jamboree Housing Corporation, West Sacramento Housing Development Corporation, California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), J.P. Morgan and regional and local leaders including Senator Christopher Cabaldon.

According to Laura Archuleta, president and chief executive officer of Jamboree Housing Corporation, the development will house families earning between 30% and 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Six apartments will be set aside for families experiencing homelessness and earning up to 20% AMI.

The affordable housing development is made up of a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom homes. Residents will pay a portion of the rent based on 30% of their income, with rent amounts not to exceed $486-$2,022 per month depending on unit size, household size and income levels.

In addition to providing housing, Jamboree offers supportive services to its residents, linking them to a network of community services including homework assistance and tutoring, financial literacy resources and other resident programming. An onsite program coordinator will assist residents in accessing local community services and coordinate programs provided by the Yolo County Children’s Alliance (YCCA).

Building amenities include a community room and kitchen, youth lounge, tot lot and a computer lab. Located in the heart of West Sacramento, residents will have convenient access to public transportation, employment centers, grocery stores, medical clinics and the Arthur F. Turner Community Library. Residents can easily connect to jobs and services throughout West Sacramento and downtown Sacramento by bicycle, scooter, bus and future light rail service.

The Bridge is the sister property to West Gateway Place, which has served West Sacramento residents since 2017. It is Jamboree’s second community in West Sacramento.

“Living here has allowed me to focus on school,” said Sherise Graham, a resident at The Bridge at West Gateway. “I’m able to stay on track with my credits without having to choose between paying for classes and paying rent.”

The City of West Sacramento played a critical role in developing The Bridge, contributing $7.2 million from its Housing Trust Fund, $3.3 million in land value and $2 million from HOME Program Income funds.

“The Bridge represents our commitment to ensuring West Sacramento remains a place where worming families can build stability, access opportunity and create a brighter future for the next generation,” said Mayor Martha Guerrero.
