Bringing Affordable Senior Housing to The Railyards

The Wong Center is bringing new affordable housing to Sacramento for seniors aged 55 and over. The application period for these one and two-bedroom apartments occurred between December 15 and January 14.

This residential project was developed by Mutual Housing California, with Sunseri Construction Inc. as the general contractor. The Wong Center Association, Mutual Housing California, LDK Ventures, Council Member Jeff Harris, and Mayor Steinberg first broke ground on the project in June 2022.

"The Wong Center has been a dream of ours for many years," stated a representative for the Wong family. "Long ago, my parents taught us that the younger generation needs to take care of the older generation. That's one thing we've never forgotten. Caring for our seniors in our community is an obligation that the Wong Center cares about, and ensuring that the aging population can live in dignity in a safe environment."
