VTA is set to develop 45 townhomes on a 2.5-acre parking lot at the Branham light rail station, with a portion designated for extremely low-income families. The project, in collaboration with Charities Housing, aims for construction to start by 2027. This initiative marks VTA’s first foray into homeownership within transit-oriented development, receiving support from various organizations. Officials highlight the pressing need for affordable housing to prevent low-income families from being priced out of San Jose, promising to positively impact community wealth building and stability.
This project is a beacon of hope for families in San Jose, offering homeownership opportunities that were previously out of reach and enabling wealth building.
The VTA's commitment to transit-oriented housing reflects the urgent need for affordable alternatives in a region plagued by rising housing costs.
As a community, we need to support initiatives like these that not only provide homes but also facilitate the integration of low-income families into urban areas.
In aiming to make homeownership possible, we intend to tackle the myriad barriers that have kept families from establishing roots in their communities.
