San Jose, CA —  

The San Jose community recently celebrated the grand opening of Solaire Apartments, bringing new and much-needed supportive, transit-oriented, affordable housing for low-income and very low-income families, seniors, and individuals to Santa Clara County.

The complex provides 130 affordable homes, with half dedicated as permanent supportive housing for individual and families experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness. A project of Eden Housing, Solaire Apartments will have on-site supportive services available for its residents, including educational, career, wellness programs, and case management—a model that will grow in California in the years ahead after voters approved Proposition 1.

The California Department of Housing and Community Development helped make Solaire Apartments possible with funding from its No Place Like Home and Infill Infrastructure Grant programs. The development is located near the Diridon Station and many other transportation options, and it is close to vital services and community resources.

Solaire has a community room, computer center, fitness studio, and various outdoor amenities including a fitness loop, BBQ patio, community garden, and bicycle storage. Solaire also meets climate-friendly standards with solar panels, all electric utilities, and EV charging stations.
