Our Impact
Franz Washington, a former U.S. Marine from Southern California, had fallen on hard times. But he found hope when he was referred to Estrella Springs, a transformative affordable housing development that turned an older, run-down motel into a vibrant community for formerly unhoused people in Santa Ana, California. FHLBank San Francisco supported the project with an $890,000 AHP grant awarded to Jamboree Housing Corp.

Franz Washington, formerly unhoused veteran: Now, I can do this. (Franz shakes his house keys). I got a place to live. I can sleep at night. I can wash. Brush my teeth. And don’t have to look on my back, because I can lock the doors. I don’t have to deal with the problems of being homeless no more. Every unit comes with a bed, a couch, a refrigerator and pots, pans. So, you cannot beat that.
