In order to best respond to all the regional differences within the SCANPH region, as well as address unique and distinct challenges that these differences pose to developers, this award recognizes projects SCANPH members build outside of the urbanized area of LA County. National Community Renaissance’s Vista Verde development is the first all-electric, net-zero energy affordable housing community in the City of Ontario. Funded in part by the Transformative Climate Communities program, this project is the centerpiece of the City’s plan to revitalize its historic downtown core, providing 101 high-quality apartment homes for families who earn between 30% and 60% of Area Median Income. Located in a Qualified Opportunity Zone, Vista Verde is the first step to realizing the City and State’s longstanding vision to enhance the quality of life in the region.
