Named to honor the late Mother Teresa, St. Teresa of Calcutta Villa is a LEED Gold® certified permanent housing development, and part of a larger plan to bring 2,000 affordable housing units to San Diego, CA by Father Joe’s Villages. Funding for this project came from multiple sources including private and public institutions, community groups and philanthropists.
This 14-story and 7-story mixed-use tower is comprised of 407 units, ground-level tenant and support services, and new Father Joe's Villages office headquarters. Tower amenities include multipurpose space, offices, employment education services, courtyard space, lounge, community room, shared laundry rooms, dining area, and roof/garden terraces. Of the 407 units, 270 are reserved for chronically homeless individuals while the remaining units are dedicated to formerly homeless veterans, families, and others.
