Leigh Avenue Senior Apartments is a four-story affordable housing development in San Jose, California that contains 64 dwelling units that have natural light on two sides, as well ground-level commercial spaces and parking. The transit-oriented project put occupant wellness and environmental sustainability at the top of the project’s goals. It was designed to achieve LEED Platinum and is a pilot project for the Healthy Building Network’s HomeFree Initiative, whose goal is to improve the health of residents in affordable housing by using healthier building materials.
In addition to the considerations necessary to make an affordable housing project feasible, unique features and services were implemented to best support the needs of the formerly homeless seniors who the project was designed for - encouraging a sense of ability to live autonomously. Such features include adoption of additional security and safety measures, such as re-working the lobby desk area to serve as a safe command center for the building and adding smart devices like range hood fire suppression and shut off timers on electric ranges. In addition to architectural features, the residents receive access to services provided by Abode Services, who adheres to the best practices for a permanent supportive housing community, including Housing First and Harm Reduction, and fosters residents’ housing stability and wellness.
