What is this Project?
The Camino de Jacobo public housing community is located north of Airport Road, near the intersection of Cerillos Road and Airport Road in the City of Santa Fe.
These units provide critical affordable housing for working families, as well as elderly and disabled members of our community.
In recent years, the County has prioritized upgrades across its public housing communities. Improvements have included new stucco and roofing; carbon monoxide detectors, asbestos abatement, ADA-compliant showers, floor replacement, plumbing repair and replacement, new appliances, cabinet replacement, replacement of electrical meter base, solar-powered motion-sensor lighting, security cameras, site landscaping and outdoor exercise equipment, and the purchase of various power tools to support ongoing maintenance.
What will 2026 Capital Outlay Request do?
Fully fund a discrete phase of the long-term capital outlay plan for the community. Specifically, the requested funding will allow for:
- Construction of a community playground; and
- Window replacements throughout the entire community, to improve energy efficiency and building envelope integrity throughout the community.
