THE STORY
 

AMCAL & National CORE’s Veterans Park Apartments in downtown Pomona provides a place to lift spirits, offering 60 homes in a safe and secure setting. Qualifying household incomes vary from 30 to 60% of area median income, with 30 units set aside for formerly homeless veterans and their families.

Veterans Park is dedicated to serving the unique needs of veterans with supporting services onsite. Help will be provided for transitioning to civilian life and navigating the complicated Veterans Affairs system in the 1,052 square foot Veterans Center. Support for families in a 1,725 square foot children’s center will focus on helping them do well in school and through after school programs. Additionally, a community center provides resident services, counseling, conference, and event spaces. Many of these activities enliven the street frontage and screen ground floor podium parking. The LEED-Silver project includes 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom plans ranging from 705 – 1,226 square feet in three stories over parking.
