In response to a request from Santa Cruz County, MidPen Housing purchased a site that was once a dilapidated trailer park and transformed it into Parkhurst Terrace, a quality affordable housing community for 68 families. Completed in Dec. 2007, Parkhurst Terrace includes townhouses and flats, a community center, laundry facilities and several play areas. The youth of Parkhurst Terrace have access to after-school and summer programs and a computer lab. Adult residents benefit from on-site vocational and computer training, ESL classes, and health and wellness programs.
