Gardens on Hope

We offer independence with the benefits of community living

Located in Uptown Santa Barbara

Gardens on Hope is a collaboration between Garden Court, Inc. and the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara to provide service-enriched, permanent housing for Santa Barbara’s frail senior population. This new 89-unit community will enable this financially vulnerable population to avoid premature placement in skilled nursing, often the only option for our low-income seniors. Gardens on Hope is modeled after the highly successful Garden Court community on De La Vina St.

Gardens on Hope is situated on a 1.75-acre lot located at 251 S. Hope Avenue, between La Cumbre Plaza and the YMCA. The development will consist of 89 studio units and 1 one-bedroom manager’s apartment, as well as a large dining room, many common areas, and outdoor spaces to enjoy. Gardens on Hope will also provide three meals a day, housekeeping, transportation, as well as a host of social programs, community events and celebrations.

Applications are now being accepted at HACSB.org!

“One of the marvelous things about community is that it enables us to welcome and help people in a way we couldn't as individuals.”
