St. Paul’s PACE Supportive Housing Partnerships
St. Paul’s PACE works directly with homeless outreach and transitional housing organizations to identify and qualify seniors for these housing opportunities. Please contact our Supportive Housing Manager, Mark Lim, at (619) 677-3868 mlim@stpaulspace.org to learn more about when St. Paul’s will have a housing project available.
Thanks to our housing partnerships between St. Paul’s Senior Services, Wakeland Housing and Development Corporation, Housing Development Partners, Bridge Housing, and the City Heights Community Development Corporation, more than 300 seniors are no longer homeless.
St. Paul’s PACE program is a full-service provider dedicated to helping senior’s live successful, independent lives in the comfort of their own homes
About Our Partnerships
Even though PACE programs do not provide or pay for housing, St. Paul’s PACE has worked with local San Diego developers and the San Diego Housing Commission to provide low-income, supportive housing to specific groups of seniors who qualify for St. Paul’s PACE. These housing developments are usually limited to those who have been or are homeless.
History of Supportive Housing Partnerships
Since 2013, St. Paul’s Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) has developed partnerships with various housing developers to provide wrap-around supportive services to formerly homeless (or at risk of homelessness) seniors. The developers provide the housing and St. Paul’s PACE finds the homeless seniors and qualifies them for PACE.
Below you will see the history of the supportive housing programs St. Paul’s PACE is involved in. St. Paul’s PACE has placed more than 200 formerly homeless seniors into “housing first” programs with all medical and social support programs provided.
