NICE, Calif. — A community meeting will be held this week about a new affordable housing project to be built starting this spring in Nice that will serve Behavioral Health clients and low-income families.

The Rural Communities Housing Development Corp., or RCHDC, will hold the meeting from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 22, at the Nice Event Center, 2817 E. Highway 20.

RCHDC, based in Ukiah, plans to build a 40-unit affordable housing complex on a 3.3-acre parcel at 6853 Collier Ave. in Nice.

There will be one unit for an on-site manager, with half of the other 39 units to set aside for Lake County Behavioral Health clients who meet the definition of mental disorder — which includes, under state code, bipolar, post-traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, major affective disorders or other severely disabling mental disorders — as well as substance use disorder or those at risk of homelessness.

The remaining units will be split between Redwood Coast Regional Center clients and low income or very low income households.
