Over its more than five-decade trajectory, EAH Housing has been steadfast in its efforts to address affordable housing needs in some of the country’s most nuanced markets, always looking for ways to boost efficiency while increasing overall supply. These efforts continue to pay off, with EAH Housing set to deliver more units over the next five years than over the last 25. In fact, by 2028, the firm expects to increase the number of people housed to 30,000.

“From day one, the EAH Housing team has been entirely dedicated to improving the lives of our residents and the communities they call home. I couldn’t be more proud to see that our long-term vision of bringing about social change through the creation of housing opportunities is stronger than ever more than five and a half decades later,” said EAH Housing President and CEO Laura Hall. “While we’ve achieved great things since our founding in 1968, it’s just a preview of what’s to come. We look forward to continue serving entire communities and to working with our partners to advance access to thoughtful, cost-effective housing.”

With recent reports showing a national affordable housing deficit of millions, EAH Housing is aggressively growing its overall footprint, with a special focus on markets with little to no affordable housing stock. As an example, EAH Housing received design approval and a conditional use permit for 330 Distel Circle from the city of Los Altos, Calif., in the heart of Silicon Valley, and where affordable housing is nearly nonexistent and vacancies scant. The approval for the 90-unit project marks the first fully affordable housing apartment community in Los Altos.

In addition to building in challenging markets, EAH Housing continues to deepen its pipeline of developments across more than 20 counties in California and Hawai’i. Other exciting projects set to break ground in 2023 include:

• Nevin Plaza: a 138-unit rehabilitation of a former public housing complex for seniors in Richmond, Calif.
• Lightfighter Village in Marina: a 71-unit housing community for homeless veterans in Monterey County, Calif.
• Aloha Iā Halewilikō: a 140-unit development for low-income seniors in Aiea, Hawai’i.
• On Broadway: a 140-unit large family community in Sacramento, Calif.
• Hale Nā Koa ‘O Hanakahi: a 92-unit community for veterans and surviving spouses of veterans in Hilo, Hawai’i.
• Main Street: a 61-unit development for people experiencing homelessness, chronically homeless individuals, and low-income families in Los Angeles, Calif.
