We are proud of our partnership with the vista del rio apartments in the city of santa ana and the regional center of orange county. Our role as service and tenant coordinators allowed us to assist people with developmental disabilities, and other special needs to successfully move-in to these affordable units and ensure that their services and supports were in place for a successful tenancy into the beautiful new project was achieved .
