Construction Begins on 800-Home Santa Rosa Housing Project

Several new housing and community development projects are underway across the United States, aiming to address housing shortages and improve local amenities. In High Point, North Carolina, construction will soon begin on the Center for Active Adults, a senior center featuring fitness and recreational facilities, expected to take 15 months to complete. In northwest Santa Rosa, California, a major housing development is being built on a former dairy farm, with nearly 800 homes planned, including single-family houses and apartments, alongside amenities like pools and bike paths, though some neighbors have expressed concerns about traffic and public services. Central Indiana is experiencing growth in new home permits, with a 6 percent year-over-year increase indicating strong demand, particularly in Hamilton and Marion counties. Oceanside, California, has started construction on a 111-unit affordable housing project designed to serve families earning between 30% and 80% of the area median income, featuring various amenities and safety measures. In Hawarden, Iowa, a former FEMA site used for flood relief housing is being converted into a single-family residential neighborhood to help alleviate local housing needs, with plans to build around nine homes on the land.
