Our Goals

Stanislaus County Affordable Housing Corporation (STANCO) is a California 501(c) (3) non-profit corporation formed in 1991 under the sponsorship of the United Way of Stanislaus County. Since that time, STANCO has acquired numerous properties and constructed scores of units – some of which were retained under STANCO for affordable housing, and some of which were sold at a below-market rate to eligible families in the community. In other instances, we have acquired and renovated distressed housing properties for reuse as single- or multi-family housing for low-income and special needs families. 

STANCO has demonstrated a successful history in providing transitional and permanent supportive housing to individuals with mental health disabilities, as well as owning and operating housing units at rent below market rates for persons who meet certain income eligibility as required by various governmental regulatory agreements. More recently, STANCO has branched into providing housing and shelter program management services for various governmental agencies. All told, at peak we currently own or manage more than 250 units
