Formerly known as The Crestview, a 59-room, 3-story boutique hotel, The Heartwood Apartments has transformed into a 49-unit Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) community. This redevelopment, located on a 1.36-acre site in Mountain View, serves a diverse population of Transitional Aged Youth (TAY), households exiting homelessness and at risk of homelessness. The renovated property, located on a commercial thoroughfare, houses a collection of 34 refurbished studios, 4 one-bedroom apartments, 10 two-bedrooms, and a three-bedroom manager's unit. The residential community is developed for individuals and families who earn up to 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI). The ground floor provides a hub of support, with management and service offices and resident amenities including a large community room and kitchen. All the reconfigured apartments are thoughtfully furnished, including a kitchenette in studios or full kitchens in one and two bedrooms, and a full private bathroom.

Thirteen of the homes are dedicated to an often-overlooked demographic experiencing homelessness: Transitional Age Youth (TAY). These young adults, typically aged 18 to 25, face unique challenges as they enter adulthood with little to no job experience or higher education, often lacking the guidance to navigate these pathways. By providing stable and safe housing, Heartwood’s goal is to empower TAY, offering them an environment where they can safely move forward in the next phase of their personal and professional lives.
