CHICO, Calif. - Across the street Marsh Junior High is where the city plans to build affordable housing for the homeless.
The Creekside Place Apartments would consist of 100 units. 15 of those units will be reserved for serving people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.
“The campfire was horrible and devastating for everybody, but it has brought all these resources that we normally don’t see in our community, to be able to build this number of affordable housing units,” said Marie Demers, housing manager for the City of Chico.
