The Presidio Springs senior housing complex was developed in 1977 as one of the first federal public housing projects in Santa Barbara. At 122 units, it is the Housing Authority’s largest property by unit count. In 2013, the project was disposed of by Housing Authority through the Section 18 disposition process and acquired by the Santa Barbara Affordable Housing Group, the Housing Authority’s non-profit instrumentality.
The project has 14 one- and two-story garden-style apartment buildings, including a community room. With the exception of a two-bedroom manager apartment, all of the apartments are one-bedroom units. Parking is provided in three separate lots across the development providing 54 parking spaces, 7 of which are reserved for disabled parking.
