Santa Ana Veterans Village Tour

For many years, the need for housing that responds to the unique needs of military veterans in Orange County has been unmet, especially for those veterans who are homeless and struggling to survive on the streets.

Jamboree Housing Corporation is a part of the solution. Jamborees goal is to provide the largest Permanent Supportive Housing development for veterans in Orange County. With the assistance of like-minded corporate and humanitarian partners, construction on our Spanish revival-style Santa Ana Veterans Village is now underway. This three-story, 75-unit supportive housing development is thoughtfully planned, down to the inclusion of a peaceful courtyard and community garden for residents to enjoy. Santa Ana Veterans Village is a unique solution to modern veterans housing, where formerly homeless veterans and their families can find not just housing but also the assistance they need to move forward in their lives in a healthy, productive manner all in one place.

Opening in April 2020, the Santa Ana Veterans Village will be a place where veterans not just veteran residents, but ALL veterans in the Orange County area will have onsite access to a variety of wrap-around services. The combination of these services and housing that define Permanent Supportive Housing help residents rebuild their lives after struggling with homelessness and other issues that many veterans face upon returning home where they have to re-acclimate into civilian home life.

The property features a contemporary interpretation of Spanish revival architecture with characteristic stucco walls, colorful tile accents, arches and ornamental ironwork. In line with Jamborees ongoing commitment to sustainability, the development is designed to achieve a LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) for Homes-certified Gold rating. This lowers energy consumption, provides a cost-saving benefit to and promotes the health of residents. It complies with Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements and adheres to the provisions of the California Building Code for accessibility.
