Groundbreaking Held for California’s Largest Habitat Project! 107 Units Planned for Eureka Oaks Development

Angels Camp, CA…California’s largest Habitat for Humanity housing project special groundbreaking ceremony held yesterday in Angels Camp. “This celebration honors the shared commitment to creating affordable workforce housing in Calaveras County, as well as the strong community bonds and partnerships that have made it possible,” said Morgan Gace, executive director of the local Habitat affiliate.

The Eureka Oaks project — a 107-unit residential development — planned off Copello Drive on the north end of Angels Camp sits on 17 acres donated in 2019 by a local couple. The development consists of 65 three- and four-bedroom homes in the first phase and 42 two- and three-bedroom condominiums in the second phase. Eureka Oaks homes will be sold to income qualified families meeting affordable mortgage guidelines. Future homeowners commit to contributing “sweat equity” hours.

Earlier this year, Habitat Calaveras was awarded a $10 million grant from the state’s Department of Housing and Community Development CalHome program — the largest grant award ever for a Calaveras County non-profit. Those funds will allow the group to complete the infrastructure of underground work, utilities, streets and sidewalks. While this grant only funds about one-fifth of the construction budget, there is still a very large need for more funding, and volunteers skilled in grant writing, soliciting in-kind services and donations, and all-around volunteers.

“Eureka Oaks embodies innovation and collaborative solutions to address the critical housing shortage affecting our county and state,” said Gace. She explained that the homes are being constructed with an innovative building material that is fire resistant with zero flame spread, mold, mildew and bacteria resistant, insect and rodent resistant with the highest insulation value available. Eureka Oaks homes will also be equipped with solar arrays to help bring down utility costs for the homeowners.

The Eureka Oaks project is instrumental in furthering Habitat Calaveras’ vision of building family stability, healthy neighborhoods and creating a community of givers. Learn more at HabitatCalaveras.org and follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

      How exactly is JD Vance qualified to become President? Because he is grossly incompetent and ignorant.

        Interesting how everything negative about Donald Trump has some sinister plot behind it. And he has a lot of negative.

          It’s the only way the swamp dwellers can stay in power. They have no productive real world skills. Only thing they have is a list for power.

    You, the ones posting on this new development in AC are a bunch of uninformed, typical hillbilly a-holes. This development is well thought out, will make it possible for working families to own a home, and believe me, have rules and regs that will keep it from ever becoming what your visions of it are. Your typical uninformed okies or libtards! By the way, you think a VP canidate that promotes tampons for men is good presidential material? Grow up, or shut up!
