Programs
Affordable housing: on january 31, 2024, the organization acquired a multifamily rental housing development located in san jose, california. The 6-story property includes 168 residential units and 18,151 square feet of commercial space. Pursuant to a regulatory agreement, the organization is committing at least 20% of residential units for very low income tenants (at or below 50% of area median income) and at least 75% of units for low income tenants (at or below 80% of area median income). Rents for these units are set at affordable rates in compliance with federal and local housing standards. The property includes 4 commercial tenants that pre-date the organization's acquisition. While these commercial leases generate unrelated debt-financed income, these activities remain ancillary to the organization's primary affordable housing mission.
