By Janene Scully, Noozhawk North County Editor | @JaneneScully

Heavy equipment and a construction trailer have moved into place as work begins for the final section of a residential project for low-income senior citizens in the Santa Ynez Valley.

The Rona Barrett Foundation, a nonprofit organization providing affordable housing and supportive services for seniors in need, has partnered with the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Barbara.

Dubbed Harry’s House, it will include 60 studio apartments in a two-story building mirroring the existing Golden Inn & Village style with farmhouse-inspired architecture, porches and outdoor courtyards. Golden Inn & Village sits at 890 Refugio Road in Santa Ynez.
