Application Deadline: May 10, 2024

About Us:

Century has been dedicated to the creation of affordable housing in California for over 26 years. Century Housing Corporation was preceded by The Century Freeway Housing Program (“CFHP”), a state agency created to replenish the 3,000 + homes demolished to make way for the Century Freeway (HWY 105). By 1995 CFHP had completed its court ordered mandate and was slated to be disbanded with the remaining cash assets of the agency to be returned to the State’s General Fund. Instead, under the guidance and vision of the late Judge Pregerson, the CFHP was converted to Century Housing Corporation, a private, nonprofit entity, to ensure that the assets CFHP was endowed with would be used to provide affordable housing in perpetuity. As a result of Judge Pregerson’s foresight, Century has cumulatively invested more than $2 billion in the creation and preservation of approximately 45,000 affordable homes throughout California. Century Affordable Development, Inc.
