Aurora Vista, located at 11892 Beach Blvd in Stanton, California, is a remarkable adaptive reuse development that exemplifies the power of collaboration. This unique community is a partnership between Jamboree, the County of Orange, the City of Stanton, and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), aimed at transforming a former motel site into a vibrant community for individuals and veterans experiencing homelessness.
Aurora Vista, Clara Vista, and Iluma Apartments represent a groundbreaking response to California’s housing crisis, developed simultaneously as part of Project Homekey. These three permanent supportive housing communities provide a total of 153 rental homes for individuals experiencing homelessness and earning up to 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI), with 30 units designated for those in greatest need: 10 units for individuals with significant mental disabilities and 20 for veterans experiencing homelessness. Developed concurrently during 2020 and 2021, these communities highlight the critical importance of leveraging innovative funding and coordinated efforts to address homelessness.
Development Highlights: Aurora Vista spans 0.44 acres and includes the renovation of the former Riviera Motel into 20 studio apartments. The development features a community room, kitchen, TV lounge, game room, and computer lab, as well as outdoor amenities like a garden, barbecue areas, and seating. The development also includes one manager’s unit to ensure smooth day-to-day operations.
