FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 
Citrus Heights Invests $2.2 Million to Modernize Two 
Affordable Housing Communities 
Sacramento, Calif., (May 31, 2007) - Two affordable housing 
communities owned and managed by the Sacramento 
Housing Authority will undergo a major facelift with $2.2 
million in funding approved by the City of Citrus Heights. 
Last fall, the City Council approved the allocation of State 
housing trust funds, redevelopment set-aside housing funds 
and City general funds to complete a full modernization of 44 
units at 7500 Tiara Way and 6250 Mariposa Avenue. 
Housing Operations Director La Shelle Dozier said the 
support from the City of Citrus Heights provides gap funding 
that cannot be covered by housing subsidies that are 
insufficient to support the Housing Authority’s operational 
costs. “This funding will help us complete a major project that 
we would not otherwise be able to accomplish on our own.” 
The modernization project includes site work (fencing, 
parking lot improvements, landscaping and grading 
improvements, etc.); exterior repairs to buildings (stucco, new 
windows and doors, deck repairs, new architectural accents, 
new multi-color paint scheme, improvements to laundry 
building, etc.); interior repairs and renovations as budget 
allows flooring paint and countertops; site lighting improvements; exterior plumbing 
improvements (shutoffs and cleanouts) and signage. In addition, a new administrative office will 
be constructed at the Mariposa property. Work is scheduled to begin in July on the Tiara 
property; September for Mariposa. Renovations to both properties should be completed by April 
2008. For more information Assistant Director of Public Housing contact Nick Chhotu at (916) 
440-1399, ext 1334.
