Paula Street

 

 
 
       
Located on the border of San José’s Willow Glen neighborhood, the development on this small in-fill lot provides a home for 21 families, several of whom were displaced as a result of downtown redevelopment projects. These families pay no more than 30% of their income to live in these well-appointed units. With creative architecture, the developer was able to include patios and open space in the development.
