Camino Terrace Apartments affordable housing project
Jurupa Valley
Summary
An 80-unit affordable and supportive housing project — including 28 supportive housing units for people like disabled veterans — has split the community for months over fire access, ADA compliance, grading, and blasting. Neighbors say the hillside site is unsafe; the council said state housing law left it no legal path to deny without risking a massive lawsuit. It approved the project 3-1 with major conditions.

An 80-unit all-affordable project with 28 supportive units for veterans and others is at a crossroads: the council must either approve it with heavy conditions or deny and likely face a lawsuit. Residents focused on fire risk, the 16% grade, blasting, and parking.
