SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — San Diego city officials on Wednesday broke ground on a new affordable housing complex in the Cortez Hill neighborhood.
Kindred, located at the Central District Core on Sixth Avenue, is an eight-story development that will consist of 125 affordable apartments and one manager's unit, nonprofit affordable housing owner and developer BRIDGE Housing said in a news release.
'Access to affordable housing helps children succeed in school, empowers adults to contribute to their neighborhoods, and allows seniors to age with dignity. But the cost of housing in San Diego is simply out of reach for too many individuals and families,' said BRIDGE Housing President and CEO Ken Lombard.

The complex will feature outdoor courtyards, ground floor community areas and management offices, and approximately 4,400 square feet of commercial space.
Of the 125 apartments, 62 will be one-, two- and three- bedroom apartments that are for households earning up to 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI). The other 63 one-bedroom units will be saved for formerly homeless seniors support by the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE).
'Every new home we create brings us closer to the San Diego we know is possible: one where everyone has a roof over their head at a price they can afford,' said San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria.
Other amenities in the neighborhood include public transportation, Balboa Park, museums, theaters and the San Diego Zoo.
