Opponents of Elk Grove's Coral Blossom affordable housing project not going down without a fight

affordable housing project. | 

Even though they face long odds in having Elk Grove Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen reverse her decision on the Coral Blossom affordable housing project, opponents are not giving up without having their voices heard.

Residents and businesses opposed to the Coral Blossom project on Elk Grove-Florin Road have placed several signs on the parcel where the affordable apartments are expected to be built. The controversial Oak Rose affordable supportive project in Old Town was moved to the Elk Grove-Florin site, just south of Calvine Road, and renamed after Mayor Singh-Allen and her city council succumbed to pressure from a handful of Old Town residents and rejected the project two years ago.

As indicated by the signs mentioning California Attorney General Rob Bonta, Singh-Allen and the city were sued for breaking fair housing laws following that rejection. Another hearing involving the state;s fair housing lawsuit against Elk Grove will be held tomorrow in Sacramento Superior Court.

The signs, which were photographed on the city-owned Coral Blossom project parcel (the future site for the Oak Rose developer), were seen on Thursday, July 17.  The city has the authority to remove these signs at their discretion.
