  • Mutual Housing's June 2026 pipeline spans 580 units across four Northern California counties.
  • Sacbee reported San Juan Apartments will open in 2026 with tax credits and city loans.

What critics are saying

  • Davis critics attacked Mutual Housing's $8.4 million subsidy request for Spring Lake in May 2026.
  • San Juan Two still needs tax credits, exposing schedule risk before year-end 2026.
