HAYWARD, California – (September 2, 2026) – Eden Housing is pleased to announce it has secured the final funding needed to begin construction on its Downtown Livermore Apartments project, which will deliver 130 affordable homes for families earning between 20% and 60% of the area median income.

The awards it received include:

“Housing security has always been a priority for our City, and securing this funding is a major milestone for this project,” said Livermore Mayor John Marchand. “Time and again, this project has been supported by Livermore voters.  These 130 affordable homes will give more families the opportunity to work and live in Livermore, and we are excited to see this important project move toward construction.”

Previously, the project had been awarded $6 million in Measure W funds from Alameda County. Funding partners include County of Alameda, City of Livermore, Livermore Housing Authority, and the California Department of Housing and Community Development.

“This project marks a significant step toward the City’s vision of affordable housing that allows families at various income levels to live and work in Livermore, providing stable homes and a more secure future for their children,” said Eden Housing President and CEO Linda Mandolini. “We are grateful to the City of Livermore for its steadfast partnership throughout this process, to the State of California for the critical funding that allows us to move this project forward, and to all of our partners who helped make this possible.”
