Support the community here

Chai House was founded in the 1970’s with the purpose of providing a safe, active and meaningful senior living facility in the South Bay for Jewish seniors. By 2019, less than 10% of the resident population identified as Jewish and the need for a new direction

was obvious. The Chai House Board voted to put the property on the market, and it was sold to Housing Preservation Inc (HPI), which is focused on the long-term preservation of affordable housing communities.
