1 45TH ANNIVERSARY OF EDEN HOUSING
WHEREAS, Eden Housing develops and maintains high-quality, well-managed, service-
enhanced affordable housing communities that meet the needs of lower income families, seniors
and persons with disabilities; and
WHEREAS, beginning in 1968, out of the need for non-discriminatory, affordable housing
1 in Alameda County, Eden Housing began, and over its 45-year history, has developed or acquired
more than 7,000 affordable housing units in 93 properties, in partnership with 28 jurisdictions in
California; and
WHEREAS, since its founding,more than 60,000 people have come home to an Eden
Housing community; and
WHEREAS, Eden Housing offers a range of supportive resident services and enrichment
programs at its properties, and since 1993, has awarded 281 scholarships totaling$325,000 to
support residents in achieving their academic and career goals; and
WHEREAS, Eden Housing developed and owns 187 apartments for families in three
service-enhanced properties in Petaluma: Corona Ranch, Downtown River and Washington Creek;
and
WHEREAS, amid shrinking resources for quality affordable housing, Eden remains
committed to improving the lives of neighborhoods and residents by forging and nurturing long-
term relationships with our community partners.
NOW, THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED that I, David Glass, along with the members of
the Petaluma City Council, do hereby commend Eden Housing for its contributions to revitalizing
the lives of residents and communities, and extend our very best wishes on the occasion of its 45
Anniversary.
