Ismael Rivera, a 52-year-old former homeless man, has found solace in his new 460-square-feet apartment after years of hardship due to soaring rent and health issues. The recent grand opening of the Fremont Family Apartments marked a significant expansion in affordable housing in Fremont, with plans for 560 additional units. Abode Services, the organization behind the project, urged local leaders to prioritize funding for more affordable housing. The development is a result of a partnership to utilize a former church lot, showcasing community efforts to address homelessness.
