Self Help Enterprises details Crescent Meadows Homekey project: 80 units, 24 veteran-targeted supportive units
Summary
Self Help Enterprises presented renderings and a development timeline for Crescent Meadows, an 80-unit affordable housing project in Dinuba/Visalia area that includes 24 permanent supportive housing units targeted to seniors and veterans and a 4,000-square-foot community building for resident services and supportive services partnerships.
Self Help Enterprises presented project details and preliminary renderings for Crescent Meadows, an 80-unit affordable housing development that would include 24 permanent supportive housing (PSH) units targeted to veterans and seniors.
“Sheila Sheetram, assistant development director with Self Help Enterprises, told the Tulare County Task Force on Homelessness that Crescent Meadows is planned at the northwest corner of Ferguson Avenue and Dinuba Boulevard, just south of Highland Gardens,” county staff summarized during the meeting. “This is an 80 unit, affordable housing complex. Of those 79 units will be affordable and 1 on-site manager unit. 24 units of the 79 units will be permanent supportive housing units set aside for veterans that are either senior homeless veterans or senior veterans that are at risk of homelessness.”
Sheetram said the project uses income averaging for affordability (30%–80% of area median income), won a CDLAC 4% tax credit award in April 2025, and that Self Help submitted a Homekey Plus application in March in partnership with the City of Visalia. She said the development is targeting a construction start around mid-October 2025 and construction completion around December 2026, subject to investor selection and award notices.
Sheetram described a three-story design with elevators, ADA-accessible features in all units, and a 4,000-square-foot community building that will house a kitchen, computer room, library space and four offices for resident services and supportive-service partners. She said the site will include senior-oriented gathering spaces and courtyard amenities such as chess and bocce.
Erica Lederbein, Self Help’s director of resident services, outlined supportive services partnerships for Crescent Meadows. “They [Tulare County HHSA] are on board to provide specialty behavioral health services for those Homekey Plus residents who have serious mental illness or substance use disorder,” Lederbein said. She also listed veteran-serving organizations the project expects to coordinate with — the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, CalVets and WestCare — and said referrals will come through Kings–Tulare–Kings (KTHA) Homeless Alliance’s coordinated entry system.
Lederbein said additional services may be delivered by CalAIM providers and a PACE program operated by Family Healthcare Network, and that Self Help plans to provide housing retention support, case conferencing, and resident services programming focused on wellness, financial skills and community building.
Self Help staff asked task force members to help by providing leveraged service partners and referral assistance at lease-up and throughout operations. No formal action or funding award was taken by the task force during the presentation.
