And last but certainly not least, Solaire Apartments is NEF's fifth finalist in the 2025 AHF Readers' Choice Awards in the Permanent Supportive Housing category!
Situated in San Jose, California, Solaire Apartments provides 130 units of affordable housing, half of which are permanent supportive housing for people who are experiencing homelessness, exiting homelessness, and frequent users of safety net services. This development focuses on households earning no more than 50-60 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). As a GreenPoint Rated Gold building, the development is fully electric with a solar photovoltaic system, features drought-resistant landscaping, and contains units specifically adapted for those with disabilities.
To help improve their supportive housing, Eden Housing, Inc., the developer, consulted experts to utilize trauma-informed design at the Solaire Apartments. This design includes carefully selected colors and tones, increased visibility in stairwells, and enhanced accessibility, which promote a safe and healing environment. Solaire Apartments has an abundance of outdoor space to aid residents in relaxing and regulating emotions, as well as resident services provided by both Eden Housing and HomeFirst, a homeless services organization. In addition, the growing downtown neighborhood creates many job and social opportunities for the residents at Solaire Apartments
