A project representative told meeting participants that Cherry Crossing, a 72‑unit workforce housing development in the City of Sanger, has leased 66 of its 72 units.

The representative said the development is “above all else workforce housing for farm workers and other low income workers in Sanger,” and called the project an example of “what it takes to address affordable housing shortages in our region, as well as addressing the issue of homelessness.”

The representative described the work as the first phase of a new 72‑unit community and praised local officials, saying, “I appreciate the vision of the mayor, city council, and the many partners in bringing this development which reflects your commitment to safe and welcoming neighborhoods.” The speaker also referenced Supervisor Mendez by name as a board member who represents the area and is “dedicated to continuing and expanding the development of affordable housing in Fresno County.”

The transcript includes the leasing totals and officials’ praise but does not record any formal vote, funding details, contract approvals, or next steps for the project.
