Affirmed Housing Opens New Affordable and Supportive Housing Development in East San Jose’s Revitalizing Mayfair Neighborhood

SAN JOSE, CA – Affirmed Housing, a leading provider of affordable housing throughout California, announced the opening of Vela, a mixed-use, affordable and supportive housing development serving individuals and families located in the Mayfair neighborhood in East San Jose. A ceremony was held to commemorate the project s grand opening and included special guests San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo and Councilmember Magdalena Carrasco, Santa Clara County Supervisor Cindy Chavez, City of San Jose Housing Department Director Jacky Morales-Ferrand and Santa Clara County Housing Authority Executive Director Preston Prince.
“The city proudly invested in Vela to provide dignified housing for dozens of our residents struggling with homelessness, said Mayor Sam Liccardo. “More than merely housing people, Vela provides a supportive community, with employment and training services to help residents get onto a path of self-sufficiency.”
Vela is Santa Clara County s first project to include Rapid Rehousing (RRH) homes as part of Measure A s goal to help households quickly exit homelessness and foster long term stability. RRH encapsulates three main components: housing identification, rent and move-in assistance, and case management and services, including employment counseling and job training aimed at ensuring residents ability to retain their housing for the long term. Vela is also San Jose s first project approved under SB 35, a 2017 law that streamlines approvals for affordable housing projects.
Vela demonstrates what can be accomplished when multiple stakeholders come together to execute on a common goal, said Rob Wilkins, Affirmed Housing s Vice President of Northern California. Affordable housing is a fundamental component in ensuring cities – and more importantly, their people – function at their best. In developing Vela, we ve leveraged county and city funding programs, statewide legislation and a range of innovative strategies to create an exceptional environment that residents can be proud to call home. Vela s success paves the way for other critically needed projects of this kind, and Affirmed Housing is tremendously appreciative of the support of our like-minded project partners in forging this new ground.
The development features a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom affordable apartment homes for households earning up to 30 and 60 percent of the county s Area Median Income (AMI). Of the 87 total homes, 43 are set aside for formerly unhoused populations with 14 designated for RRH and 29 for Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) programs, as well as two homes reserved for the building s property and maintenance managers. In addition to housing, Vela residents have access to on-site supportive care and services to help them regain long-term stability, independence and well-being.
Vela s overall design prioritizes community building with several shared resident amenities incorporated throughout, including a computer lab, community room, TV room, spacious courtyard and large outdoor deck with raised planter gardens and lounge areas. Vehicle and bicycle parking are also included. Each apartment comes equipped with energy efficient appliances.
In the weeks before Vela s grand opening and in anticipation of receiving residents, Affirmed Housing, in partnership with on-site service provider People Assisting the Homeless (PATH) and the San Jose Earthquakes, collaborated to set up and furnish each apartment with basic move-in necessities.
Affirmed Housing s development partners for Vela include the City of San Jose, Santa Clara County, DAHLIN Group Architecture Planning, Cahill Contractors, BKF Engineers, JETT Landscape, Bank of America, California Community Reinvestment Corporation (CCRC), PATH and Nexus for Affordable Housing.
Vela adds to East San Jose s affordable housing supply for our most vulnerable community members. It is a model public-private partnership that converted an abandoned storefront and lot into a service-rich community, helping its residents get on the path to personal and financial stability, said Raquel González, president, Bank of America Silicon Valley. Bank of America has worked with lead developer Affirmed Housing on several high quality affordable housing projects in recent years, and we re particularly proud to have financed the Vela and invest into this historically diverse Alum Rock community.

Plant Prefab Secures $42 Million in Funding to Propel Expansion into Multifamily and Single-Family Community Development Projects

RIALTO, CA – Plant Prefab, the first Certified B Corporation building technology company dedicated to sustainable design, materials, and operations, announced that it has secured $42 million in Series C and other funding to support the company s capacity expansion and increased multi-unit housing production. The Series C was led by Gerdau Next Ventures, the corporate venture capital program of Brazilian steel producer Gerdau, with additional investments by Asahi Kasei, Brown Angel Group, ICT Capital and Unreasonable Collective. The round also included debt and equipment financing from Western Technology Investments and ATEL Capital Group. All parties are existing investors in Plant Prefab, reflecting strong belief in the company s growth and market opportunity.
We are gratified by this vote of confidence from our investors, who recognize the opportunity to further scale our solutions for multifamily and single-family community developments, said Plant Prefab Founder & CEO Steve Glenn. The Series C funding will enable completion of the Arvin Hub — Plant Prefab s first automated factory and regional production hub and the country s first hybrid panel and module manufacturing facility — which will provide the additional capacity, increased velocity, and expanded geographic reach to serve our target markets.
With a national housing shortage estimated at four million homes, the most in-demand urban infill and resort markets have been especially difficult for builders to address due to diverse local zoning and code requirements, skilled labor shortages, high labor costs, and/or short building seasons, all of which dictate tailored solutions. Plant Prefab s patented Plant Building System™ was specifically designed for such challenges, utilizing advanced engineering in combination with specialized Plant Panels™ and Plant Modules™ to accommodate modular, panelized, and hybrid modular/panelized building solutions. The system addresses the design and buildability problems of all-modular or all-panelized approaches as well as the unpredictable timelines and labor challenges that can lead to massive schedule and cost overruns in site-based building.
The Arvin Hub will enable full industrialization of the Plant Building System, allowing Plant Prefab to take on larger multifamily and single-family community developments. At scale, the factory will be capable of producing over 900,000 square feet of housing (equivalent to over 800 housing units) per year, far more time and cost efficiently than the company s existing two factories. The Arvin Hub will also expand Plant Prefab s service area to the entire Western U.S., where the nation s housing shortage is especially severe. The company s pipeline reflects this demand: As of August 2022, contractual backlog totaled more than $85M and prospective business totaled more than $660 million, representing year-over-year growth of 58 percent and 110 percent, respectively. Contracts include workforce, affordable and market-rate housing spanning multifamily, single-family, single-family community and student housing developments.
In addition to completing the Arvin Hub, funds from this financing will also be used to bolster Plant Prefab s engineering, product management, supply chain and project management infrastructure. Digital building data — produced by the company s proprietary engineering platform — will be used to drive automated manufacturing equipment in addition to providing detailed instructions to project partners for efficient on-site installation and finish. The development of curated finish packages for all segments of the market will further streamline project planning and mitigate supply chain-related delays.
Plant Prefab s end-to-end solution ensures optimal efficiency throughout the project lifecycle. This holistic approach and proven ability to standardize almost any design into repeatable components makes the company uniquely suited to address the most high-demand segments of the housing market, especially urban infill, second home, and resort communities in the Western U.S., says Rafael la Porta de Castro, Corporate Development Director for Gerdau North America. Gerdau is proud to support Plant Prefab s leadership in sustainable housing design, production, and operations.
Plant Prefab s data-driven processes produce 30 percent less construction waste than site-based methods, and corporate responsibility initiatives spanning everything from material sourcing to component shipping efficiency have helped the company achieve carbon-neutral operations since 2020. The Arvin Hub is being constructed to Plant Prefab s strict environmental standards for minimal resource consumption and will be fully solar-powered. The company plans to continue scaling its sustainable housing production through a hub-and-spoke model that will eventually serve the entire continental U.S. Standardized Plant Panels will be produced at highly automated, high-volume regional hub facilities with consolidated resources, while Plant Modules will be assembled at spoke facilities that are located closer to customers to minimize shipping costs and on-site finish work.
