Happenings in East County for the week of June 8!

06/04/2026

Last week, we celebrated a massive milestone alongside the Mount Vernon School District and many others who made the day possible for the ground breaking of Kulshan Vista Village Phase I!

Located close to La Venture Middle School, Phase I of this project will build 24 affordable apartments for local families with school-aged children facing housing instability.

What’s next?
With capital fundraising complete for Phase I, final permits are underway, and construction starts this summer! The goal is to start moving families into by Fall 2027.

The School District will help refer families, and Community Action will provide ongoing support services to ensure long-term success. Because when kids have a stable place to sleep, they come to school ready to learn.
