""We are proud to bring six decades of affordable housing development and operating experience to our local community here in Berkeley,""
""Our provision of this land for this project underscores the university's deep commitment to advance the greater good by expanding the supply of urgently needed housing for our community's most vulnerable residents. We look forward to continuing our extraordinary partnership with the City of Berkeley that has been so essential for this project,""
Berkeley-based nonprofit Satellite Affordable Housing Associates (SAHA) was selected to develop and operate roughly 100 supportive affordable apartments for former homeless and low-income residents on the People's Park site. The development is part of UC Berkeley's larger plan to build more than 1,100 student housing units on a 2.8-acre lot formerly home to People's Park. SAHA, founded in 1966, has built and managed thousands of homes from San Jose to Sacramento. SAHA replaces Resources for Community Development, which exited the project in 2023 amid legal challenges. UC Berkeley provided the land and emphasized commitment to expanding urgently needed housing and city partnership.
