SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Affirmed Housing recently celebrated the grand opening of Cypress. Located at 1435 Imperial Ave. in downtown San Diego, California, Cypress is a permanent supportive housing development serving homeless individuals with special needs. As a sustainable, transit-oriented development, the $20-million, eco-friendly project pairs the latest in urban design with affordability for those who need housing most: the homeless population in downtown San Diego.
Cypress will provide 62 studio apartments for residents earning an average of 30-40 percent of the area median income. The project also has one, one-bedroom manager’s unit. Resident apartments range from 275 to 350 square feet and feature personal kitchens and bathrooms. Shared amenities include a second-level outdoor open space, a community kitchen, tech tables and lounge areas with abundant natural sunlight.
The environmentally friendly community also has a solar array to offset 60 percent of its common area energy usage, and offers resident services by St. Vincent de Paul Village, Inc.
The project was designed by Carrier Johnson + Culture and built by HA Builders, with civil engineering by Kettler Leweck Engineering and landscape design by Ivy Landscape Architects.
