ONTARIO, Calif. – National CORE and the City of Ontario have secured a $1 million federal Community Project Grant to support a new affordable housing community that will deliver safer streets, reliable transit and opportunity for families along the Holt Boulevard corridor in downtown Ontario.

The funding, provided by U.S. Rep. Norma Torres, was celebrated March 31 at National CORE’s Vista Verde community, located a block from the new property.

Torres said affordable housing is the top request from her constituents and thanked city leaders and National CORE for working closely together to ensure those needs are being met.

“Every family deserves a safe, affordable place to call home, and that starts with investments like this one,” she said. “I hear every day from constituents struggling with the cost of housing, which is why partnerships with organizations like National CORE are so critical. They do not just make promises, they deliver. I’m proud to have helped support this new community and the families who will call it home.”
