Economic Impact
Sierra Vista phases I and II are part of the Housing Authority of the County of San Joaquin’s Master Redevelopment Plan for replacing outdated public housing. Sierra Vista Homes was originally built in south Stockton the early 1950’s, and originally consisted of 330 units. Over decades of being under-maintained and unable to financially meet growing capital needs, the property fell into poor condition and exceeded its useful life. AHDC became a partner in the redevelopment of Phase I and Phase II, guiding a new design which include a total of 215 units on 15 acres.
