The following is the newsletter of non-profit affordable housing developer Santa Monica Community Corporation. It has three parts: an opening letter from the director, coverage of the Brunson Terrace Ribbon Cutting earlier this month, and an announcement of an upcoming mixer at Solidarity.
Dear Friends and Advocates of Affordable Housing,
I hope you’ve all had a wonderful summer and are excited for autumn, which brings a fresh new school year, crisp-ish weather and pumpkin spice everything!
This is a short version of our Connect newsletter, to share just a few exciting pieces of news. First about we recently opened the doors to our newest property Brunson Terrace. In addition, we are excited to invite you to our 2023 in 2023 mixer on October 5th at Solidarity in Santa Monica (arguably one of the best patios in town).
This will be a celebration of the milestone of completing 2,023 affordable homes in 2023. It’ll be a chance to connect with like-minded supporters and funders of affordable housing, mingle with policymakers, meet many of our Board members and Resident Council members, and enjoy delicious Eastern European food. Proceeds will support our services programs that envision ways to foster wellbeing for our residents.
More details below, we hope you will join us!
Warmly,
Tara
Tara Barauskas
Executive Director
