Satellite Affordable Housing Associates

Satellite Affordable Housing Associates (SAHA), a non-profit organization based in Berkeley, California, is a dedicated affordable housing developer registered in SAM.gov since 2008. The organization focuses on creating and supporting affordable housing solutions for low-income and vulnerable populations, with a particular emphasis on addressing homelessness and housing insecurity. As a corporate entity with tax-exempt status, SAHA primarily receives federal grant awards, specifically through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program, which supports comprehensive efforts to provide housing and supportive services to homeless individuals and families.

SAHA's federal grant awards and sub-awards demonstrate a robust commitment to affordable housing development and community support across multiple dimensions. The organization has consistently received CoC Program grants totaling approximately $587,202, which enable them to develop permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, and rapid re-housing initiatives. Through sub-awards, SAHA has engaged in diverse projects such as predevelopment of an 80-unit affordable housing development on city-owned land, capacity building for mixed-use affordable housing and healthcare projects, and creating permanent supportive housing for formerly homeless seniors. Key partners in these efforts have included the City of Berkeley, Local Initiatives Support Corporation, Enterprise Community Partners, St. Mary's Center, and the California Department of Transportation. Their grant-funded work encompasses project management, community outreach, schematic design development, city entitlements, and organizational capacity building to advance affordable housing and community development objectives.
