The CSU Fullerton Housing Authority was formed in July 2000 with the express mission to benefit California State University, Fullerton by providing and maintaining affordable housing and related facilities for faculty, and staff. Through such housing, the ability to foster an academic community and environment near the campus will aid the university in their quest to attract and retain the highest quality personnel. The Housing Authority is a self-supporting, non-profit corporation that is managed by a Board of Directors appointed by the University President.

The CSU Fullerton Housing Authority Board of Directors consists of a diverse group of professionals from the local community, CSUF Faculty, CSU Fullerton Auxiliary Services Corporation and the CSUF student body. The Housing Authority's business crosses many sectors of the business world therefore requiring a Board with broad base of business experience. Board member professional expertise includes real estate, architecture, Finance, Certified Public Accounting, Administration and College studies. The Board continuously pursues opportunity for the development of affordable housing and its obligation to the faculty and staff of Cal State Fullerton.

The CSU Fullerton Housing Authority developed its first community, University Gables, located fifteen minutes from campus in the city of Buena Park. University Gables is a unique 86-home residential neighborhood featuring 36 attached and 50 detached homes, a neighborhood park and a community swimming pool. Occupancy commenced in the summer of 2002 with homes priced significantly below Orange County market rates. The community is fully developed and occupied, however the Housing Authority continues to take applications for faculty or staff members who desire to reside in the community as homes become available through resale.

The CSU Fullerton Housing Authority is currently building a 42-home community in Fullerton for the CSU Fullerton faculty and staff at prices and well below current Orange County market rates. This community, University Heights is being developed and built by Valeo Companies, the same company that developed the exquisite homes at University Gables. University Heights will likely be available for occupancy in early 2007.

The Housing Authority continues to pursue other opportunities for the development of future affordable housing projects and several opportunities are currently being considered. Check back frequently for more information on upcoming developments.
