Designed by Dahlin Architects,it will provide affordable <br /> housing at 30 to 50 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI)to approximately 30 individuals in a <br /> setting that's similar to senior living. The units, designed as one-bedroom and studio apartments, <br /> will allow residents the option to live as independently as possible,while still taking advantage of <br /> the amenities of`community living.' Sunflower Hill is working with SAHA Housing and the Housing <br /> Consortium of the East Bay as property managers and housing partners. <br /> A large community center will offer activities and meal options to on-site residents as well as some <br /> of the individuals with special needs living in the adjacent houses. Residents will have the ability to <br /> attend their own off-site day programs,work or school or take advantage of the amenities within <br /> the Sunflower Hill community. As appropriate, aides/caretakers,funded through Supportive <br /> Living Services (SLS) via the Regional Center of the East Bay,will provide additional assistance. <br /> A Pleasanton-based nonprofit organization,Sunflower Hill was created in 2012 by local <br /> community leaders and parents in an effort to offer affordable housing choices for developmentally <br /> delayed individuals. Nationwide,there are more than 5 million individuals with special needs- <br /> most of whom will live with their parents their entire lives. Sunflower Hill seeks to change that <br /> paradigm with affordable,sustainable,life-long residential communities similar to senior living. <br /> Sunflower Hill • P.O.
