Description:
Since its inception in 1966, Satellite Housing, Inc. has developed 20 residential properties that provide affordable, service-enriched housing for over 1,400 seniors and persons with disabilities. Ten of Satellite's buildings are located throughout Oakland, while the remaining properties are located in Berkeley, Fremont, Newark, Pittsburgh and Walnut Creek.

The purpose of the Satellite Housing, Inc.’s Volunteer Program is to improve the quality of living and promote health and well-being for Satellite Housing’s residents.
