A commenter at the meeting said Cherry Crossing, a new 72-unit development in the City of Sanger intended for farmworkers and other low-income workers, has already rented 66 of the 72 units, leaving only a few available.

The commenter said the project “will not just be a wonderful place to live, but is also a perfect example of what it takes to address affordable housing shortages in our region, as well as addressing the issue of homelessness,” and named Supervisor Mendez as a local elected official supporting continued affordable housing development in Fresno County.

Project backers described Cherry Crossing as the first phase of a 72-unit community intended to bring high-quality, affordable housing to the City of Sanger and thanked the mayor, the city council and “the many partners” involved in the development. The transcript does not record any formal vote, funding decision, ordinance or other official action on the project.

Discussion-only comments in the transcript emphasized the intended target residents—farmworkers and other low-income workers—and framed the development as part of a broader county-area effort to expand affordable housing. The speaker also cited the high leasing rate as evidence of local need.

No financing details, construction timeline, occupancy rules or city or county approvals were specified in the transcript. The record provided does not indicate any motion, formal direction to staff, or subsequent steps taken by the board or city in response to the remarks.

Speakers listed in the meeting transcript referred to the project and to Supervisor Mendez’s representation of the area; the transcript does not identify the meeting venue beyond those references.
