All Eden Housing properties host events for our residents on National Night Out, which is a national event to promote safety and build community. With the theme "National Night Out Festival," our 801 Alma property in Palo Alto will be hosting an event for our low-income children and families who live here that includes food, games, face painting, ice cream social station, balloon station, and prizes.
We are looking for Volunteer Groups who are interested in helping with the setup, hosting games and activities, spending time with the residents, serving food and helping with clean up.

Mission Statement
Eden Housing creates and sustains high-quality affordable housing communities that advance equity and opportunity for all.
Description
Eden Housing, Inc. is a California non-profit corporation founded in 1968 by six community activists who were concerned about the lack of non-discriminatory, affordable housing in Northern California. These volunteers began by rehabilitating older homes in Hayward for first time homebuyer families. In the mid-1980s, Eden Housing incorporated an affiliated property management company, Eden Housing Management, Inc. (EHMI), which currently provides quality onsite management and maintenance for more than 9,000 affordable homes throughout California. In the mid-1990's, Eden Housing expanded its scope to include the provision of free onsite support services and programs for its residents.Our services include technology programming; "green" resident education; youth academic, enrichment and recreation programs; programs for seniors and persons with disabilities; financial literacy; job/career preparation; and health and wellness programs for all ages.
Today, Eden has a portfolio of 9,000 units at 145 properties across 15 counties in California. Eden develops new construction and acquires and rehabilitates existing properties to preserve them. During the past 53 years, over 65,000 people have come home to an Eden Housing community. At Eden Housing, we have more than 20,000 households on our waiting list and a portfolio-wide vacancy rate of 1%, demonstrating a huge demand for our work.
