The official ribbon cutting took place on Jan. 10. Contrasting colors blend nicely with the landscaping of Rosaleda Village. Opening remarks were made by the executive director of the Housing Au- thority, Stephen Pelz. “When all these beautiful new homes are filled, nearly 1,000 Wasco residents will benefit from living in qual- ity new homes with close access to services, shopping, schools, parks, a new childcare center and other amenities,” Pelz said. “This is the biggest new construc- Tenant Ana Lilia with her two sons, Sergio and Jose tion affordable housing de- Manuel Mandojano. velopment in Kern County in over 25 years, with 10 different funding lage are energy efficient and made with ma- sources.
