Rep. Aguilar Delivers $1.2 Million to Expand Affordable Housing and Address Homelessness in Fontana

Rep. Pete Aguilar announced that he secured $1.2 million in community project funding for the City of Fontana’s Aldea Apartments Acquisition Phase II project. This grant funding will help expand affordable housing and address homelessness in the Inland Empire by purchasing 2.4 acres of land adjacent to the Aldea Apartments building, where 80 additional housing units will be built. Additionally, the funding will support much-needed upgrades to the existing building’s outdoor amenities to improve residents’ quality of life, including the construction of a children’s playground, dog park and parking lot. Once complete, the Aldea Apartments will serve as a bridge between temporary shelter programs and permanent housing, giving individuals and families at risk of falling into homelessness a stable, low-cost place to live.
