SONOMA, CALIF. — MidPen Housing is underway on the development of Summer Oaks, a 72-unit affordable housing community in Sonoma. When complete in fall 2026, Summer Oaks will be leasing one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments to families earning up to 60 percent of area median income, which currently is $75,480 for a family of four. Fifty-two of the units are specifically reserved for residents who work in farming and agriculture. Financing for the development was provided through both public and private sources including the County of Sonoma, the California Department of Housing and Community Development’s Joe Serna Jr. Farmworker Housing Grant and Infill Infrastructure Grant programs, Bank of America, the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco and the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee. The architect for Summer Oaks is Mithun, and the general contractor is Midstate Construction. MidPen will serve as the property manager and also will provide on-site services that support residents’ education, physical and mental health and economic mobility.
