Bay\u003c/a> officials cleared the way for an embattled affordable housing project for farmworkers to move forward, a year after a mass shooting at a mushroom farm in the city put a spotlight on the wretched living conditions of many of the area’s agricultural workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, the City Council unanimously approved the 40-unit development that will house about 100 very

The other \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11982817/half-moon-bay-prepares-to-break-ground-on-farmworker-housing\">consists of 47 manufactured homes\u003c/a> for very low-income families, including those displaced from the mushroom farms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The drawn-out approval process for the senior housing has pushed back the completion timeline significantly, said Kelly Hollywood, an associate director of real estate development at Mercy Housing. Without the final OK, developers couldn’t apply for crucial sources of funding, some of which only become available a couple of times a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With these approvals, we can work towards those other local and state sources,” Hollywood said. She expects to be able to apply for vital tax credits from the state in mid-2025. “We’re thankful that the determination of the community and the spirit allowed us to continue to move forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Construction is set to start in mid-2026 and wrap up in late 2027 at the earliest.
