Redwood Second Suites

Redwood Park Communities works with homeowners to turn unused space (often basements) into legal apartments. We then place individuals or families in need of affordable housing in them, with the supports they need to be successful tenants and to participate in the community. Read more.

Adopt-A-Unit Opportunities

In response to an expressed desire by numerous organizations to partner with Redwood Park Communities in building safe, hopeful, affordable communities, we have prepared a number of Adopt-A-Unit options to suit the priorities and capacities of a range of interested parties. Each includes both financial commitments and service opportunities, and the details of these options are laid out in this booklet.
