Senior Housing Solutions provides a unique housing model that targets seniors 60 years of age and older living on their Social Security Retirement. The estimated monthly income needed for a senior to be Self-Sufficient in Santa Clara County is $1,928 per month. Fifty-five percent ($1,068) of the cost is for housing. The average income of seniors living on Social Security Retirement in Santa Clara is $1,503 a month. In the County, there are more than 70,000 seniors living on Social Security whose monthly income is below $1,503. This is the group of people we are working to serve.

The mission of Senior Housing Solutions is to develop affordable housing to help extremely low-income seniors improve their quality of life. Our innovative model combines shared housing in single-family homes, property management and case management to achieve positive health and quality of life outcomes for independent seniors whose income is less than $18,000 annually. Rent is kept at just 30% of income ensuring our residents will never have to worry about a rent increase beyond their ability to pay.

I invite you to work with us so that Senior Housing Solutions continues to achieve positive results on the economic, social, health and psychological well being of seniors in our community. A donation of $100 helps subsidize our residents’ rent for one week, $433 for one month, $5,200 for one year. Any donation you can make will help ensure our seniors will never have to worry about a rent increase that could force them from their home. Visit the Donate Now page to make your donation on-line.
