Mercy Housing California (MHC) and Abode Communities are working in conjunction with the County of Santa Clara, represented by County Supervisor Joe Simitian, Facebook, the City of Palo Alto, and participating school districts in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties to develop new housing on a county-owned site. The property offers an exciting opportunity to create new high-quality, and much-needed, rental housing affordable for teachers, school employees, and their families.  231 Grant began construction in July 2023.
