Burbank Housing is North Bay's largest affordable housing organization. We have 40 years of success in building, managing, and providing services to low-income individuals and families in Sonoma County.

Valley Lodge is a 55-room hotel that has been converted to housing for formerly homeless individuals. Burbank Housing serves the role of Property Manager and works in close collaboration with support service providers to further the shared goal of housing stability for the residents living at Valley Lodge. In alignment with our larger organizational mission, Valley Lodge is a mission-driven property management initiative that serves a greater purpose in the local community which is to end chronic homelessness.

While as an organization we have extensive experience serving vulnerable individuals, we recognize that formerly homeless populations like those living at Valley Lodge present with a higher level of vulnerability and trauma acuity. As we further our work in Permanent Supportive Housing, we are committed to organizational-wide efforts to become trauma informed, human centered, and equitable in all we do.
