About Satellite Affordable Housing Associates
Satellite Affordable Housing Associates’ recent giving is built around large, repeated support for affordable housing development and the organizations that keep those homes operating. The biggest grant in the current record was $3,689,511 to Satellite Aha Development Inc for general support tied to development of low-income housing, followed by another major award of $3,497,442 to Saha Property Management Inc for general support of low-income housing management. That pattern points to a funder that supports both the creation and the ongoing administration of housing, rather than funding only one stage of the work. The foundation also gives to housing-related entities beyond its core development and management arms. In 2023, it granted $253,022 to the City of Oakland for general support, showing that its housing work reaches into place-based public partnerships as well as affiliated operating organizations. Smaller grants in the latest record include support for Satellite Senior Homes Inc and 2891 Carmen Lp, keeping the focus squarely on low-income housing and related services. Across the data provided, every grant lands in California.
What Satellite Affordable Housing Associates Funds
Low-income housing development is the clearest theme in the grant record. Satellite Affordable Housing Associates gave $3,689,511 to Satellite Aha Development Inc in 2024 for general support tied to development of low-income housing, and it followed with $1,513,589 to the same organization in 2023 for the same purpose. Housing management is another recurring area. The foundation awarded $3,497,442 to Saha Property Management Inc in 2023 and $1,810,956 in 2024, both for general support of low-income housing management. It also funded housing for older adults through a $55,970 grant to Satellite Senior Homes Inc in 2025. Public-sector partnership appears as well: the City of Oakland received $253,022 in 2023 for general support. That mix shows a funder centered on operating, managing, and developing affordable housing rather than a broad set of unrelated causes.
