Our Mission

STANCO develops and promotes affordable housing opportunities for residents of Stanislaus County

Building Coalitions

Providing affordable housing (particularly through infill projects) is a difficult process under the best of circumstances. STANCO is reliant upon the support of neighbors, stakeholders and decision-makers in order to achieve financing and gain entitlement of projects. Strengthening community support and encouraging the creation of coalitions to support the development of affordable housing solutions in the community is an ongoing responsibility of STANCO.

STANCO has demonstrated a successful history in serving the residents of Stanislaus County by providing transitional and permanent supportive housing to individuals with mental health disabilities, as well as owning and operating housing units at rent below market rates for persons who meet certain income eligibility as required by various governmental regulatory agreements.

Our History

35+ Years of Experience

Stanislaus County Affordable Housing Corporation is a California 501(c) (3) non-profit corporation formed in 1991 under the sponsorship of the United Way of Stanislaus County. Since that time, STANCO has acquired numerous properties and constructed scores of units – some of which were retained under STANCO for affordable housing, and some of which were sold at a below-market rate to eligible families in the community. Additionally, we have acquired and renovated distressed housing properties for reuse as single- or multi-family housing for low-income and special needs families.
