Century Housing

Congratulations to Century Board Member Louise Oliver on receiving the Humanitarian Star of the Valley Award at The Valley Economic Alliance’s 31st Annual Valley of the Stars Awards Gala. This event celebrates the exemplary businesses, people, and organizations positively impacting the economic vitality of the region. Recognized for her decades of leadership and commitment to helping individuals and families, Louise has made a lasting impact on the community and inspired countless others through her public service. As a member of Century's Board of Directors for nearly 30 years, Louise has played an integral role in shaping Century into the organization it is today. We are proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition and grateful for her continued leadership and impact. 

In a region known for tourism and luxury, the working residents who keep Napa running have been priced out of homeownership. The Redwood Building is helping change that. As the first phase of The Crescent redevelopment, The Redwood Building will bring 40 affordable for-sale homes to working households in Napa, with up to 132 more planned in future phases. The project will transform a long-vacant public site into housing that will remain affordable for years to come, helping local families continue living in the area they already call home. Century Housing is proud to be part of this community-driven effort through construction financing: "The Redwood Building reflects what’s possible when thoughtful design, strong partnerships, and disciplined financing come together,” said Karen Davis, VP, Loan Officer at Century Housing.

For many of us who work in affordable housing and community development, the mission is deeply personal. In an interview with Multi-Housing News, Century President & CEO Jacqueline Waggoner reflects on the important role her mother played in shaping her lifelong commitment to serving others and helping people and communities thrive. As Jacqueline shares, “At Century, our mission is not about housing alone, but about what housing makes possible for people."

A new video from our partner Jamboree Housing Corporation highlights the grand opening of Larkin Place in Claremont—now a supportive housing community offering residents stable homes and onsite services. Permanent supportive housing is one of the most effective responses to homelessness because it treats a stable home as the foundation for better futures. Pairing homes with services helps residents improve their health, strengthen connections, and build long-term stability. Century Housing is proud to have provided permanent and acquisition financing for Larkin Place. As Josh Hamilton, Century Senior Vice President of Lending, shared at the grand opening: “Every community that says ‘yes’ to a Larkin Place type of development is part of the solution we need to address this homelessness crisis.” Watch the video: https://lnkd.in/gUcKJ_bS

Drone footage shows steady progress at Century + Restorative Care Village, where construction began in June 2025 and is moving quickly. With the podium parking garage complete and framing well underway, the team is racing to the roof, expected to be reached by late summer. Meanwhile, Phase II has secured tax credits and is on track to close in early summer.   When complete, Century + Restorative Care Village in Los Angeles' Lincoln Heights neighborhood will deliver 296 permanent supportive and affordable homes across two phases, alongside community-serving amenities designed to support healing and stability.

The One San Pedro Collaborative has released its 2025 Annual Report, reflecting a year marked by important milestones and continued community partnership.   Century Housing’s development arm, Century Affordable Development, Inc., along with HACLA, National Community Renaissance, and The Richman Group, continue to advance the vision for Rancho San Pedro. Since the beginning, one core belief has remained constant: It takes more than housing to build healthy, vibrant communities—it requires collaboration, opportunity, and sustained investment in people and neighborhoods.    The report highlights key progress in 2025, including the groundbreaking of 327 Harbor, the first phase of redevelopment that will bring 47 energy-efficient homes to San Pedro. 🔗 Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gwiU7dpC. #AffordableHousing #SanPedroCA #RanchoSanPedro #CommunityDevelopment #onesanpedro
