Pomona’s Council already approved buying the 16 modular units and hiring a contractor earlier in 2026. Staff recommended approving the project at the September 14 hearing, but the documents do not say whether the Council did.
What the city is deciding
The Council was asked, after a public hearing, to approve a city-led project of 16 modular units for permanent supportive housing for residents experiencing homelessness, subject to conditions. The resolution in the packet is a draft with blank vote lines. The city owns the land, so its zoning code does not apply to the project.
Where and who it affects
The project covers 2040 N. Garey Avenue and part of the rear parcel at 2032 N. Garey Avenue in Council District 6. Homes are west of the site, a public school is east, and offices are north and south.
The existing Family Stabilization Hub would stay as office space and tenant services. Each unit has one bedroom, a kitchenette and a bathroom, about 201 to 268 square feet.
What it could mean for your property
For nearby owners, the draft conditions address construction, alley work and drainage. They would limit construction to Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., with noise kept to the city standard.
Before grading, neighboring property owners would receive written notice about construction impacts and confirmation that their existing public services would not be affected. The draft also requires repaving about 450 feet of alley from Garey Avenue to the eastern property line. A curb on the southern boundary would stop runoff onto the neighboring property.
The plan has 30 rear parking spaces, landscaping, lighting and shared laundry. A contracted property management company would oversee the development, with a manager living there and security cameras throughout the site and parking area.
The documents do not say what rents or tenant eligibility rules would be.
Questions to ask before you buy or build
- Is the property next to the planned alley work or southern drainage curb?
- Were the draft construction hours and neighbor notification requirements adopted?
- What tenant eligibility rules and rents will apply to these units?
What happens next
The city said it mailed hearing notices on September 3 to owners and occupants within 1,000 feet of the site. The documents do not record what was said at the hearing or identify a next step. The draft says approval lapses if construction has not started within two years.
