A Celebration of Justice

Each Spring, AHA hosts its anniversary “Celebration of Justice”, and honors leaders in affordable housing development and advocacy. To be included in this celebration, please contact us.

At the 15th Anniversary Celebration of Justice, AHA honored James J. Schmid, CEO, & Chelsea Investment Corporation (CIC) for their development of Fairbanks Ridge, Mariposa, The Crossings and Windwood Village, affordable and inclusionary housing in San Diego County

“Inclusionary” housing refers to affordable housing that is developed as part of a larger, mixed-income or mixed-use community. Jim and Chelsea’s inclusionary housing developments were honored for promoting social justice.

The term “affordable” is defined by reference to the income group served. AHA honored these developments because they include units which serve our client community, the extremely low income who earn no more than 25 percent of Area Median Income (AMI), at or near minimum wage. For current information on the region’s income limits and affordable housing costs visit http://www.hcd.ca.gov/fa/amc/mhp.html; click on “Maximum Income Levels & Maximum Rents"; then scroll down to San Diego County.

AHA salutes Jim and his wonderful team at CIC, and wishes them many more years of success in the development of inclusive and affordable housing in San Diego.
