Sacramento State wants to offer low-cost living to students. Here’s the plan.

Sacramento State is beginning construction on a new student housing facility. The building will provide beds for 335 students, with 285 classified as affordable housing, said Samuel Jones, the executive director of housing. The facility, which will open in June 2026, will cost the university $69 million, with $41 million covered by a state higher education housing grant. Students will also be eligible to qualify for affordable units across the university’s residence halls.
