The Ford Road Plaza development consists of 75 units of affordable family housing adjacent to 20 units of special needs housing for an at-risk adult community (HUD 811) and was the result of a design competition sponsored by the City of San Jose for non-profit development teams. The challenge was to provide transit oriented housing to both families and special needs residents on a 3 acre surplus site with difficult site conditions. A high density podium scheme maximizes the number of units in a design that is compatible with the adjacent residential community. The development was presented to several neighborhood groups through community meetings to solicit input. The design team incorporated concerns and comments that came forward and the project was unanimously approved by the City Council.
Monterey Villa transformed a deteriorated, vacant parking lot into a high-quality, well-managed, supportive residential community for individuals with special needs. This new community provides 20 one and two bedroom apartments for special needs individuals. On-site amenities include a community room and computer center, where Resident Services provide regular after school programs for children, computer and education classes for families and special needs individuals, and social activities for all residents. Residents are also within walking distance of a number of neighborhood amenities including the Caltrain Blossom Hill station, a grocery store, a drug store, restaurants and other retail establishments in the adjacent shopping center.
