Abode has been increasingly developing supportive housing sites to rehouse formerly homeless people. We also have rehabilitated and converted existing structures to better meet the needs of our participants.

Development

Abode Housing Development has increasingly sought to develop its own supportive housing communities. At these sites, we combine housing and social services to help formerly homeless people gain a new home and keep it.

This, of course, is part of our Housing First approach to ending homelessness, which finds that once one has a home, the services that follow are much more effective.

Abode has rehabilitated a growing number of existing structures.

We have converted those sites to supportive housing to better meet the needs of formerly homeless households, veterans, families, chronically homeless individuals, and other vulnerable groups.

Our developments and renovation projects provide quality affordable housing that supports resident well-being — and that of the community at large.

Those efforts are also helping to address the state of California’s crisis-level housing shortage.

We look forward to developing more supportive housing sites to help us fulfill our mission.

City center apartments

City Center Apartments is a supportive housing development that has transformed a Fremont used-car lot into 60 units of green and modern affordable housing. It is located at 38631 Fremont Blvd.

Larry Mayers of Mayers Architecture designed the development, which features 30 studio homes, 29 one-bedroom units, and a 2-bedroom apartment in a fully ADA-accessible building on a 1-acre property.

Three-quarters of the units are reserved for people experiencing homelessness, including 29 units for veterans.

Residents have access to on-site property management and social services offices, bike parking, storage areas, computer lab, and laundry facilities.

Construction at City Center Apartments began in early 2020 and finished by late 2021.

City Center Apartments is one of several permanent supportive housing sites that Abode has sought to develop throughout the Bay Area to address the region’s housing crisis and to help formerly homeless individuals and families gain housing and keep it.

Pipeline Projects
Parkmoor (hub)

In May 2021, the County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors selected Abode Housing Development (formerly known as Allied Housing) — to develop a new HUB youth service center and residential housing at 1510-1540 Parkmoor Ave. in San Jose. This new site currently known as Parkmoor (HUB) will have up to 81 units of affordable and supportive housing, including units for transitional age youth. Parkmoor (HUB) units will include studios and one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartment homes on a 1.62-acre parcel at the intersection of Parkmoor and Meridian avenues. 

The five-story building will feature four floors of housing above 17,000 square feet of ground-floor space called The HUB, a youth-led community center dedicated to supporting current and former foster youth ages 15 to 24. The HUB will be owned and operated by the County of Santa Clara. The HUB will house service organizations, provide activity spaces for youth, and serve as a safe, welcoming center with services by youth peers and other caring community members.

This sustainable, all-electric development will have outdoor surface parking spaces, an enclosed mechanical parking lift, and bike storage. Abode will provide on-site supportive services for residents.
