Overview

Valor Gardens addresses the challenge of affordable veteran housing by integrating modern building technologies, energy-efficiency, and accessible designs to offer homes at a lower market price. This approach not only ensures affordability but also promotes sustainable living. 

 

The project is uniquely structured to bolster secure housing while fostering a sense of community for its residents. Central to this vision is the Clubhouse Pavilion which serves as a community hub integrating health and wellness as part of the community's culture.  This inclusive environment supports both the residents and the local community, creating a holistic approach to veteran housing and well-being.

The Barriers

Despite access to VA home loans, which offer favorable terms such as no down payment and lower interest rates, many veterans still struggle to afford homes in California’s expensive real estate market. This affordability issue is compounded by strict lending requirements and the high debt-to-income ratios prevalent among our veterans transitioning to civilian life, making it challenging for them to qualify for conventional loans.
