SACRAMENTO, CA – Local and state officials gathered Monday to celebrate the grand opening of Hope Landing, a newly-converted permanent supportive housing complex providing 124 units for seniors exiting homelessness. Located in Sacramento’s Arden area, the development offers fully furnished studio and one-bedroom apartments alongside a full suite of on-site services, including mental health care, substance-use treatment, and life skills programs.
Hope Landing was developed through a partnership between Hope Cooperative and the John Stewart Company and funded in part by Project Homekey, California’s statewide initiative to convert hotels and motels into long-term housing for people experiencing homelessness. The site, formerly the Arden Star Hotel, has undergone a substantial renovation with new electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems, modernized interiors, and revitalized common areas including a community garden and dog park.
