Housing Claremont Core Values
Larkin Place
Housing Claremont strongly supports this development, which meets the highest standard for affordability (100% affordable to extremely low-income tenants). Moreover, its target population is formerly homeless adults, it is a high-density development, and its location is convenient to public transportation, grocery outlets, and Larkin Park. Even without an EIR to fully assess the sustainability of the project, Housing Claremont can offer our strong support.

740 Foothill Blvd.
There has been significant local opposition to a much-needed well-designed apartment building proposed for 740 E Foothill in an unincorporated county area adjacent to San Dimas and La Verne. The 43 apartment homes will serve 42 households of seniors experiencing or at risk of homelessness and a unit set aside for an onsite property manager.

Village South
The merits of this project include its location, density, transit orientation, commitment to sustainability, mixed-use, and broad target population, which includes both small families and seniors. Housing Claremont looks forward to learning more about the project’s commitment to affordability and hopes to see, at minimum, a 15% set-aside for median income households.

The future residents will be low-income families and homeless veterans earning between 30 and 60 percent of the area median income. Some of the units will be reserved for families and individuals at risk of homelessness or with disabilities.
