Prado Family Homes is a 50-unit affordable development for primarily extremely low and very-low income families.  Eight units have been designated as permanent supportive housing (PSH) units using Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) vouchers for veterans who are homeless or at risk or homelessness. The County of Orange administers the VASH vouchers. Fountain Valley Housing Authority provided a loan to the developer to assist in the development of the complex that ensures the units will remain affordable until 2077.

The development is comprised of four residential buildings, including one community building complete with property management and social services offices. LifeSTEPS, an independent, non-profit, social service agency, administers the on-site social services.
