February 14, 2016 – Berkeley, CA. On Tuesday, February 23, Satellite Affordable Housing Associates (SAHA) will celebrate the groundbreaking of Harper Crossing, 42 new affordable homes for low-income seniors.

Located in South Berkeley, close to public transportation, Harper Crossing will provide permanent affordable housing for seniors aged 62 and older, and whose household income is at or below 30-60%of the area median.

In addition to managing the apartments, SAHA will provide the onsite services including adult education, health & wellness, and skill building classes. Harper Crossing will create an opportunity for seniors to live in a safe and positive environment where they will be able to socialize with peers and receive support services in areas of need. According to SAHA Executive Director Susan Friedland, “All around us in Berkeley and beyond, we are witnessing historic rises in rents and the resulting displacement of low income people. The construction of Harper Crossing is a response to this crisis. SAHA is committed to providing affordable, service-enriched housing that promotes healthy and dignified living for people with limited options. By combining quality property management and supportive resident services we will be able to address the needs of the seniors living at Harper Crossing”
