The Placentia Veterans Village, offers 50 furnished apartment homes to low-income and disabled veterans residing in Orange County, including a designated manager’s unit. These veterans have access to a range of on-site services, including comprehensive, individualized case management and service coordination to connect with education, employment, healthcare, benefits assistance, legal assistance, and family reunification services.

Located on 3.66 acres of unimproved land in an industrial/commercial corridor of Placentia, the development enhances the quality of life in the area while helping to meet the need for affordable housing for veterans.

The Placentia Veterans Village apartment project is designed in a traditional Craftsman style using simple expressive forms and articulated massing to create an environment that is both comfortable and familiar. The one and two bedroom residences offer amenities such as indoor and outdoor community spaces, elevators, private terraces and laundry rooms. The project also provides a private community garden along with ample green space for the residences.   The development is designed to achieve LEED Gold certification, utilizing energy efficient design principles and building materials.

Funding for the project  comes from a variety of sources, including a federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit, California Proposition 41, a conventional mortgage (relying on a HUD VASH subsidy), Project Based HUD VASH and/or Project Based Section 8 – Orange County Housing Authority, and a pending City of Placentia Development Impact Fee Deferral.
