In January 2024, Enterprise launched a new statewide effort to support the often-overlooked—but absolutely essential—stock of at-risk affordable single room occupancy (SRO) housing in California. Through a new statewide SRO preservation workgroup, six nonprofit owners of permanent supportive housing and affordable SROs from across Northern and Southern California have been meeting monthly to tackle shared challenges and explore collective solutions. From managing aging buildings with little to no reserves to navigating complex regulatory hurdles, these groups are confronting the realities of keeping their SROs viable for the long haul
Over the past year, the cohort partnered with Enterprise to dig deeper—aggregating data across their portfolios to better understand the risk factors, property conditions, and trends shaping California’s SRO landscape. The resulting report, Preserving Affordable Single Room Occupancy Portfolios Across California, explores these issues and advances recommendations. The ultimate goal: To strengthen advocacy and secure the investments needed to preserve these critical homes for the future.
