A collaboration of Satellite Affordable Housing Associates and the City of Antioch, this new home for 84 low-income seniors maximizes both outdoor and indoor socialization spaces for the residents. It is the first project built utilizing California’s Veterans Housing and Homelessness Prevention Program and has 34 homes set aside for veterans, including 12 for formerly chronically homeless residents.
The two building wings frame a 10,000 square-foot courtyard with sunlit and shaded zones for active and passive recreation. Raised gardening beds, seating, and walking paths are accompanied by a four-foot-high weathered-steel meditation ring to foster both physical and spiritual health for the new community. Within the buildings, sunny, seven-foot wide corridors, view lounges, community gathering room, computer room, and recreation room nurture a culture of socialization.
