Jamboree Housing Corporation

Market-Rate Quality for Affordable Housing

A leading nonprofit developer, Jamboree is committed to sustaining excellence with high quality affordable housing that benefits the environment, economy and local communities. Founded in 1990, Jamboree is an award-winning, broad-based housing company that develops, acquires, renovates and manages permanently affordable rental and ownership housing throughout California for working families, seniors and people with special needs, including those who are homeless and live with a mental illness.

Jamboree currently has $222 million in affordable housing projects in its development pipeline and a $1 billion asset portfolio that includes the development of and/or ownership interest in more than 7,300 homes in more than 74 California communities. HOMES, Inc. and Housing with HEART programs comprise Jamboree’s Resident Services Group. Housing with HEART programs are offered at 30+ communities with designated staff at each location. These services foster learning, health and community building.

Jamboree supports the efforts of local cities and counties to design and develop complete and healthy communities that enable residents to live, work and thrive in their hometowns. These communities offer jobs, good schools, quality public utilities and infrastructure, convenient access to transportation and healthcare plus a full spectrum of housing choices – hallmarks consistent with Urban Land Institute's 10 principles for healthy affordable housing:

1. Build on the basics

2. Think holistically

3. Choose walkable sites

4. Design places for people

5. Connect with the landscape

6. Build healthy homes

7. Celebrate food

8. Energize the community

9. Leverage available resources

10. Provide healthy living programs

More than 18,000 Californians call a Jamboree property “home.” This year, Jamboree will add another 439 apartment homes to its current portfolio and an additional 450 apartment homes over the next few years.
