OUR STORY
TRANSFORMING LIVES AND COMMUNITIES THROUGH HIGH QUALITY AFFORDABLE AND SUPPORTIVE HOUSING, PAIRED WITH IMPACTFUL RESIDENT SERVICES
Founded in 1998, Wakeland Housing is a nonprofit organization committed to transforming lives and communities through the development of high-quality, affordable housing and the delivery of impactful resident services. We address the housing needs of California’s low-income working families, seniors, veterans, and individuals who have experienced homelessness. Our mission goes beyond providing shelter—we create thriving communities where residents can find stability, support, and opportunities to succeed.
Over the years, Wakeland has developed, acquired, and rehabilitated nearly 9,000 affordable homes across 68 properties throughout California. By collaborating with both for-profit and nonprofit partners, we have become a leader in the affordable housing sector. We remain dedicated to providing cost-efficient, high-quality housing and integrating comprehensive on-site services that enhance the well-being of our residents.
We work with municipalities, developers, and redevelopment agencies across the state, leveraging federal, state, and local funding, including tax-exempt bonds and tax credits, as well as private sector resources to create lasting impact in the communities we serve. Through our work, we strive to ensure that our housing communities are places where people don't just live, but thrive.

Our team brings unmatched EXPERTISE, skillfully structuring complex developments and utilizing a wide range of funding sources. Above all, we are committed to RESIDENT SUCCESS, providing on-site services that connect residents with the resources they need to achieve their goals and thrive.
