Housing Justice

Building

We believe that housing is not a luxury but a human right. As housing prices have skyrocketed since COVID-19 finding somewhere affordable to live is becoming less and less of a reality.

Two sections of a promotional graphic showing residential buildings. The top section features line drawings of single-family homes over a street view, with text indicating homes behind Pleasant View Elementary. The bottom section displays line drawings of apartment buildings over an undeveloped landscape, with text indicating apartments behind 'Centro de Adoracion' church.

The Poplar Housing Project

The Poplar Housing Project is in it’s initial phases. CVEA is seeking to acquire two parcels of unused public land. One will be an apartment complex on empty lot behind ‘Centro de Adoracion’ church. The other will hold single family homes on empty lot behind Pleasant View Elementary.

To make this dream a reality we need a strong community show of support! You are invited to join our informational seminar
