Funding supports Green Means Go infrastructure across Sacramento County and senior housing at San Juan Apartments along Stockton Boulevard
SACRAMENTO, Calif., April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Health Net, one of California’s most experienced Medi-Cal managed care health plans and a Centene Corporation (NYSE: CNC) company, today announced a $3 million investment in the Sacramento region to support housing stability and infrastructure, including partnerships with the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) and Mutual Housing California. The investment will help increase affordable housing and the infrastructure needed to support it in Sacramento County.
Health Net’s Sacramento investment includes:
- $2 million to SACOG to support infrastructure for at least 50 affordable housing units in Sacramento County through the Green Means Go infill accelerator program
- $1 million to Mutual Housing California to provide permanent affordable housing for over 100 seniors in the second phase of the San Juan Apartments
“At Health Net, we understand that where you live can directly impact your health,” said Amber Kemp, Vice President of Medi-Cal Strategy, Execution, and Engagement. “That’s why we’re investing in partnerships that bring together housing, infrastructure and community development. When we work with SACOG and Mutual Housing California, we’re helping build neighborhoods that support healthier lives—where families are safe, connected and can live healthier, fuller lives.”
$2 million for Green Means Go Infrastructure
SACOG’s Green Means Go program serves as a catalyst for cities and counties across the region to address the evolving challenge of reinvesting in urban cores and commercial corridors. The investments have helped add housing closer to where people work and shop to create a vibrant place to live and work, attracting new business and residents.
“This investment reflects the power of aligning housing and infrastructure to create lasting community impact,” said Patrick Kennedy, County Sacramento Supervisor and SACOG Board Member. “Through SACOG’s Green Means Go program, we were proud to support the first phase of Mutual Housing’s San Juan Apartments, creating needed affordable housing—bringing critical infrastructure to a project that will open in May 2026. With continued partnership and investments like this from Health Net, we’re building on that momentum to deliver more housing, better connectivity, and healthier communities across the region.”
$1 million for San Juan Apartments Phase Two
The investment will support the continued development of San Juan Apartments Phase Two, an expansion of affordable housing along the Stockton Boulevard corridor. The project is part of Mutual Housing California’s innovative approach to factory-built housing designed to serve seniors, delivering high-quality, affordable homes more efficiently while supporting older adults to age in stable, healthy environments.
“We’re incredibly grateful for Health Net’s partnership and their leadership in recognizing the powerful connection between health and housing,” said Craig Adelman, CEO of Mutual Housing California. “This investment is more than funding — it’s a shared commitment to creating healthier, more equitable communities. At San Juan Apartments Phase Two, we’re advancing a factory-built housing model designed to serve seniors with high-quality, stable, and affordable homes. By delivering housing more efficiently, we can reduce development costs while accelerating access to the kind of stable environments that lead to better health outcomes — fewer hospital visits, improved well-being, and greater independence for older adults. Health Net’s support allows us to scale this approach — expanding opportunity while ensuring more seniors can age with dignity in communities built for their long-term health.”
What’s Next
Partners will continue to advance planning and predevelopment work for San Juan Apartments Phase Two and support upcoming Green Means Go infrastructure activities across the region.
Together, these efforts demonstrate how cross-sector collaboration — linking healthcare, social services, housing, and infrastructure — can address drivers of health and strengthen community resilience.
