DESCRIPTION
Casa Feliz offers 60 affordable SRO (Single Room Occupancy) units, each equipped with private bathrooms and convenient on-site parking. Residents at Casa Feliz who have developmental disabilities receive dedicated support through Resident Services Coordination provided by the Housing Choices Coalition (HCC). HCC serves as a vital link between these residents and property management, streamlining communication and ensuring continuity in assistance.
This community adheres to income restrictions, ensuring that the average income of its households does not exceed the maximum limits set by the property's program. It's essential to consult the Property Manager for precise details on these income thresholds, as rents are subject to periodic adjustments based on guidelines.
Eligibility for residency requires third-party income verifications from all income and asset sources. Supporting documentation like prior years' income tax returns may also be necessary. The income calculation takes into account expected annual gross income, including earnings from assets, while standard Criminal Background and Credit checks are part of the application process.
Casa Feliz provides a range of amenities for its residents, including on-site management and maintenance staff, access to resident services, a laundry facility, a computer lab, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Additionally, residents benefit from free bus passes, enhancing their accessibility to transportation options. Promoting healthy living, Casa Feliz prioritizes indoor air quality through the choice of low volatile compound finishes, including paints, adhesives, carpets, and resilient linoleum flooring. These materials, known for their low off-gassing properties, help maintain a safe and toxin-free environment for tenants and staff alike.
Energy efficiency is another focal point, designed to lower operating expenses. This involves well-insulated and well-ventilated structures, reducing the energy required for heating and cooling while improving indoor air quality. Lower energy consumption not only benefits common areas but also leads to cost savings for residents. Located near bus stops, Casa Feliz promotes a transit-oriented lifestyle, and First Community Housing purchases local transit passes for each resident, facilitating travel throughout Santa Clara County. Furthermore, the building features a vegetated roof planted with locally grown organic drought-tolerant plants, providing multiple benefits such as reducing the heat island effect, filtering rainwater, enhancing roof insulation, and extending its overall lifespan. This approach ensures sustainability while promoting a greener, eco-friendly environment for all.
