Housing Now!

TOML_housing_now_logo-h

The Town's Housing Now! program is a multi-faceted program focused on expanding the availability of affordable workforce housing throughout the community in the near-term (present-18 months) to support housing at all economic levels. The Housing Now! initiative aims to leverage federal and state grant program funds (generally limited to households earning no more than 80% of the Area Medium Income) and local funds (generally not limited to a specific Area Medium Income level) to achieve affordable new housing development and the creation of affordable housing through the conversion of existing market-rate housing.

The Parcel

The Parcel development is a 25-acre undeveloped site centrally located in the Town of Mammoth Lakes intended for affordable housing. The Town acquired the site in 2018 and subsequently launched a comprehensive planning procedure to determine how best to develop the site. The Parcel Master Plan allows for up to 580 permanently affordable housing units on the site that will be restricted to households earning 120% or below of the Area Medium Income (AMI), with the majority being restricted to 80% AMI and below. Phase 1 consists of 81 units (80 affordable and 1 manager’s) consisting of studio, 1-br, 2-br, and 3-br units. Construction began in fall 2020 and anticipated occupancy is fall 2023. Phase 2 consists of 148 units (146 affordable and 2 manager’s) and site grading is expected in fall 2022. Construction and the target occupancy date will be dependent on when all of the funding is secured for the project. Future phases will provide up to 350 additional affordable housing units. Funding for Phase 1 of the project consists of Town general funds and CA State grant funding.

Anyone interested in living at The Sawyer should contact the Town developer’s property manager, Buckingham, at (855) 452-8250 (option 0) for additional information or to be placed on the waiting list.  Property information can also be found on The Sawyer Facebook page.
