Northland Village

Sacramento, CA

Project Overview

Prior to the acquisition by Domus, Northland Village was a neglected property and was at risk of losing its rent subsidy, which would have displaced hundreds of residents. Domus preserved this essential housing resource through a layered funding strategy that included a project-based Section 8 contract.

Northland Village is a HUD Section 8 property with 144 family units housed in 32 separate buildings. Domus acquired Northland in March 2005 with the goal of renovating the property while maintaining its affordability for the future.

Improvements include two new community rooms — one with a new manager’s unit and the other with a computer learning center — two playgrounds and a basketball court for the many children who live at Northland Village.
