NASA proposes new housing campus at Moffett Field with at least 1,930 rental units
Out of the skies comes a plan to put a dent in the region's housing crisis: NASA expects to build at least 1,930 housing units on a 45-acre federal site at Moffett Field.
The new housing campus would be devoted to rental units, with 10 percent set aside as affordable. In an announcement, the NASA Ames Research Center — which expects to begin searching this fall for a private development partner for the project — said individuals who work or go to school on Ames-owned property would get first dibs on the new units. Up to 8,000 workers would be able to apply for such "priority access," including NASA civil servants, contractors and others employed by dozens of other organizations at Moffett.
