SOUTH PARK COMMONS
Project Description
​
The City of Santa Rosa selected Freebird through a Request for Proposals process and executed a Development and Disposition Agreement between the parties in June 2021 to develop a 62-unit affordable housing development at 702 Bennett Valley Road in the South Park neighborhood. The project is a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units and balances the need for permanent supportive housing with providing it in an integrated setting where approximately 50% of the units are set-aside for households experiencing chronic homelessness and 50% are affordable housing that are not designated for any special needs population. There are multiple income tiers up to 50% AMI. This development program replicates a model of integrated housing that our partner, Abode Housing Development, has implemented with great success in nearby cities, both big and small.
