The Hope Center and Berkeley Way has been announced as a finalist for the Terwilliger Center Award for Innovation in Attainable Housing! This joint development between non-profit developers BRIDGE Housing and non-profit developer/service provider Insight Housing represents the single largest infusion of affordable and supportive housing in Berkeley’s history and is already serving as a replicable model in the region.

It combines four housing types – 32 emergency shelter beds, 12 transitional housing units for veterans, 53 permanent supportive housing units, and 89 affordable apartments – into an integrated community with onsite food and support services, offering a continuum of options for residents with low income to progress through and maintain long-term.

The Terwilliger Center created the Award for Innovation in 2022 to recognize unique yet replicable developments that offer or preserve deeper affordability.

Congratulations to the team behind this incredible project for their recognition as a finalist! You can learn more about this project, the fellow finalists, and the awards program here.
