City Joins Yolo County Housing to Break Ground on River Grove Apartments

On Thursday, Jan. 8, 2026, the official groundbreaking was held for the River Grove Apartments Affordable Housing Project in West Sacramento.

The Yolo County Housing Authority, New Hope Community Development Corporation, the City of West Sacramento, and Brinshore Development are partnering to deliver 37 new homes, including one live in manager unit and 36 rental apartments. Of these, 18 units will serve individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, four units will be supported by VASH vouchers for qualifying veterans, and 14 units will be reserved for extremely low-income households.

The project is made possible through a $2.2 million Infill Infrastructure Grant from the California Department of Housing and Community Development, along with a $3 million loan leveraged by the City from its Affordable Housing Trust Fund.

The City of West Sacramento remains committed to addressing the statewide housing crisis by supporting the development of housing at all levels. The River Grove Apartments project is expected to begin lease up in 2027.

"This project faced multiple hurdles along the way, and we're so grateful to every organization that believed in this project, adjusted with us along the way, and helped ensure we would make it to this point,"
Ian Evans
President/CEO of New Hope Community Development Corporation and Executive Director of Yolo County Housing
