Since its inception in 1968, Eden has developed, acquired, or rehabilitated more than 12,000 affordable units and currently provides homes to more than 24,000 lower-income residents. As a mission-driven non-profit, they serve low- and moderate-income families, seniors, people with special needs, and people experiencing homelessness.

Eden works in 17 counties, including San Mateo County, with three properties in East Palo Alto and multiple future projects in the County in the pipeline. Eden Housing’s Status as a Qualifying Designee Per the Affordable Housing Ordinance, an affordable housing developer is deemed a Qualifying Designee if it is a non-profit organization, mission-aligned for-profit housing corporation, joint venture, limited liability company, partnership, or other entity that: • Demonstrates technical capacity and experience in developing, owning, and operating affordable housing projects or partner with an entity that has the required experience; and • Demonstrates experience relevant to owning and developing three (3) qualifying deed- restricted affordable rental housing projects. If the developer has experience developing less than 3 qualifying affordable rental housing projects, the market rate developer will be required to partner with a developer that meets the experience requirement. • Does not have a record of defaults, a record of systemic or procedural maintenance problems, housing or building code violations, or a history of substantiated fair housing complaints at properties it owns and/or operates, directly or through affiliated entities. Eden’s status as a non-profit industry leader in affordable housing development satisfies these requirements. As documentation of our status, our list of properties in our portfolio and pipeline listed below demonstrates that we own and have developed greater than 3 qualifying deed- restricted affordable housing rental projects similar to the proposed project. Eden certifies that it does not have a record of defaults, a record of systemic or procedural maintenance problems, housing or building code violations, or a history of substantiated fair housing complaints at properties it owns and/or operates, directly or through affiliated entities.
