At the northeast corner of Valley Boulevard and Center Avenue, wood framing is now complete for The El Monte Metro apartments, a new development from the Cesar Chavez Foundation. The project consists of two four-story buildings which will contain 53 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments reserved for homeless veterans and low-income households upon completion
Per a staff report to the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee, the 27 supportive units in the Metro development will be reserved for households earning no more than 30 percent of the area median income, with rents set at $273 per month.
