Dewayne McDaniel moved into a new apartment at Northview Pointe in December. Formerly homeless, he says having a roof over his head has saved his life.
“I wouldn’t be alive if I didn’t get off the street. It was killing me out there,” said McDaniel, who said he recently received an implant to treat congestive heart failure.
He opened his home Wednesday to attendees — including Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty — of the grand opening for the 67-unit supportive housing development on Northview Drive in Natomas for people experiencing homelessness.
Most residents must have annual earnings of 15% to 30% of the area median income, according to a representative of the complex. The units come furnished and fully equipped, including bedding and kitchen supplies.
The complex was developed by Hope Cooperative, the Sacramento housing and behavioral health provider, and Long Beach-based real estate development company Excelerate Housing Group.
All but one of the units are already occupied.
