Congratulations to
Mercy Housing California (MHC) partnered with
AIDS Housing Alliance (AHA) and their receipt of the
Outstanding Sustainable Stormwater Project Award from the California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) for the Colonia San Martin development.
This project has been recognized as one of ‘Sacramento’s finest affordable housing projects’, specifically developed for low-income and persons living with HIV.
Quadriga developed plans in collaboration with Mogavero Notestine Associates and Cunningham Engineering to provide a comprehensive stormwater mitigation plan. The Colonia San Martin project manages stormwater on site through the use of permeable concrete and grassy swales to filter out pollutants, reduce the amount of water entering the storm drain system and recharge groundwater. Other sustainable features include solar orientation of the buildings, energy-producing solar panels, a community garden, small orchard, and edible landscape. These elements along with a small gathering space, water feature and a children’s play area provide a supportive environment for the residents and their families.
