FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) \u2014 The City of Fresno is getting nearly $5 million from the state to give new life to a long-struggling mobile home park and to help veterans in need find a stable place to call home.<\/p>\n
The $4.9 million award comes from California\u2019s Homekey+ Program and will be used to preserve and revitalize La Hacienda Mobile Estates, formerly known as Trails End Mobile Home Park. <\/p>\n
The project will provide affordable, permanent housing for homeless and at-risk veterans, many of whom are also dealing with mental health or substance use challenges.<\/p>\n
In partnership with Self-Help Enterprises, the city plans to install 18 new manufactured homes, 12 one-bedroom units and six two-bedroom units, all designed for long-term, supportive living.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis project is a lifeline for a community that has long been overlooked,\u201d Mayor Jerry Dyer said in a statement. \u201cBy preserving La Hacienda, we\u2019re preventing displacement, expanding affordable housing in Fresno, and restoring stability for families and individuals who deserve the chance to prosper.\u201d<\/p>\n
The grant will also help preserve existing homes within the 5.21-acre park, ensuring that current residents aren\u2019t displaced as the neighborhood undergoes improvements.<\/p>\n
City leaders say the revitalization of La Hacienda isn\u2019t just about construction, it\u2019s about community. <\/p>\n
The new development will include on-site services and dedicated veteran support, giving residents access to the resources they need to rebuild their lives.<\/p>\n
Officials say the project is a model for how state and local partnerships can tackle homelessness while maintaining affordability and dignity for Fresno\u2019s most vulnerable residents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FRESNO, Calif.
