A PLACE TO CALL HOME

The cost of living on the Peninsula has created a challenging situation for many who have called this area home for generations. As the housing crisis continues to displace middle income families, low-income families are faced with impossible choices and extreme commutes in order to provide for their families. We currently operate 268 units of extremely low, very low, and low-income apartments in the North Fair Oaks Neighborhood and Downtown Redwood City.

While reducing homelessness, we believe affordable housing improves residents’ health and financial stability. Fostering economic growth by increasing disposable income, a safe and stable place to call home also provides children with a foundation for educational success and while boosting the overall economic mobility of the family. Affordable housing is a key factor in creating stable communities, reducing poverty, and ensuring that essential workers can live in the areas they serve.
