The Lighthouse

In 2014, The Turner Foundation purchased an additional property of 45-unit apartments about a mile from the Village called The Lighthouse. Formerly the San Pascual Apartments (located at 1502 San Pascual St) is about to become The Lighthouse, a name for what the Wilsons say will be another beacon of hope for some in the community whose circumstances don’t often provide for the best accommodations or the diverse opportunities that many take for granted. The Wilsons plan to gradually transform the complex starting with much-needed interior and exterior improvements to the living spaces, eventually leading to a new playground and an on-site community center. Free services will be offered to resident families and children including music and dance classes, professional counseling and after-school tutoring programs provided by students in the Kids Helping Kids program at San Marcos High School and Community Friends of the Turner Foundation.Some residents may even benefit from lowered rents through Section 8 designation, and the community will open its doors to more families in the future as space becomes available.
