RCD is completing our 3rd new #affordablehousing development in 2020 - Victory Village in Fairfax. 53 senior households will find safety, stability & community here among the oak trees. A new chapter for all of them, especially meaningful for those who were previously homeless. And the first 36 households are moving in this week! #WelcomeHome In partnership with Marin Housing Authority General contractor: Nibbi Brothers General Contractors Architect: Van Meter Williams Pollack LLP

We are so pleased that some seniors who have been living in motels during the Covid-19 public health emergency and were previously homeless are among those who get to move into Victory Village, Marin County Community Development Agency planning manager Leelee Thomas says in a statement. For those folks and many others, the name of this facility will have a personal meaning. For them, it will be a victory to settle down in a beautiful new home. https://pacificsun.com/affordable-senior-housing-coming-to/

Welcome Home! In the last month, we moved 47 #veterans who were experiencing #homelessness into the Embark Apartments in uptown #Oakland. Providing safe, stable and #affordablehousing is more meaningful than ever as all Californians are required to take shelter in their homes. A big thank you to RCD’s asset management team and our property management partner, The John Stewart Company, for all of your hard work to make this happen.
