About Charities Housing
Charities Housing is a real estate operator headquartered in San Jose, CA. Charities Housing operates in San Jose, California. Its investment focus is on Affordable Housing, LIHTC and Multifamily - Ground-up.
Charities Housing is a non-profit affordable housing development and property management organization based in San Jose, California. Founded in 1993 following the 1990 formation of its parent division, the enterprise has completed 33 years of corporate operations. The firm is dedicated to addressing the housing crisis in Northern California by creating high-quality, sustainable, and service-enriched residential communities throughout Santa Clara County and the Silicon Valley region. The enterprise operates a vertically integrated non-profit model, managing every stage of the property lifecycle from early site acquisition and complex public-private financing to architecture, construction, and long-term property management. Charities Housing specializes in developing two distinct real estate segments: traditional affordable multi-family housing for working families and highly specialized housing paired with supportive social services. This service-enriched model provides critical stability for extremely low-income individuals, seniors, and special-needs populations, ensuring residents have direct onsite access to healthcare, financial literacy, and independent living assistance. The organization currently manages a stable, operational portfolio of more than 1,200 affordable apartment homes, while aggressively expanding its regional footprint with a robust pipeline of more than 2,000 additional residential units in various stages of active development. The developer's historical production track record is defined by a diverse mix of urban infill apartments, senior living facilities, and permanent supportive housing communities across Santa Clara County. By executing projects from initial concept to completion under its own corporate management, Charities Housing maintains strict quality standards and long-term operational efficiency. Its properties are designed to blend seamlessly into existing neighborhoods while incorporating eco-friendly building practices and community gathering spaces. This comprehensive approach ensures that the firm's real estate assets serve as foundational pillars for neighborhood stabilization and upward economic mobility across the region.
