Heritage Square South is a Permanent Supportive Housing (“PSH”) project developed by BRIDGE Housing for senior citizens aged 55+. The building is located at 710 N. Fair Oaks Avenue in Pasadena. Lease-up for Heritage Square South began on April 29, 2024, and was completed by the end of June, with the last tenant moving in on June 28, 2024.
The City of Pasadena contributed 69 project-based vouchers, development financing in the amount of $6,992,683, and a below-market rate ground lease.
PSH projects provide both permanent housing and supportive services for the residents. Union Station Homeless Services is providing the on-site supportive services, and BRIDGE Housing provides property management.
Prospective tenants were matched to Heritage Square South through the county-wide Coordinated Entry System (“CES”), which prioritizes permanent housing placement for the homeless community. The City of Pasadena requires that CES gives priority to those who became homeless in or are experiencing homelessness in Pasadena.
