The Village
Make it stand out.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Hear from our residents.
A mother of her own children, and a mother to the Village community. She is aware of families and individuals that are hurting, struggling, and in need of help. She encourages others to support, and takes action herself. Whether that is making a hot meal or visiting a neighbor who needs someone to talk to, she shows up. This resident understands that life can give you much, when you put much effort into life.

Her ability to put others above herself is ingrained in her DNA, and she deeply cares about the health of her community. She is an active participant in Lighthouse Resident Council Meetings; communicating community concerns and expressing her ideas of solutions and ways to improve community life.

Impact Partnership
MSquared
MSquared has partnered with The Turner Foundation, a Santa Barbara, CA, based nonprofit, to recapitalize and preserve two mixed-income housing complexes in Santa Barbara’s Westside neighborhood. MSquared’s investment allows the Turner Foundation, to retain ownership of the 112 units of housing and execute improvements and energy efficiency upgrades at both properties.
The 112 unit portfolio is a critical affordable housing resource in a housing market where 62% of renters are rent burdened.
Affordability
The Village and The Lighthouse will preserve a total of 78 units affordable to households earning up to 60% of AMI, which is equivalent to $97,560 for a 4-person household, ensuring long-term affordability in one of the most expensive housing markets in the country.
Sustainability
MSquared’s investment will enable the Turner Foundation to implement energy efficiency upgrades at both properties.
Diversity
The project’s sponsor, the Turner Foundation, is a locally based nonprofit that will provide on-site services in the properties’ community centers. In addition, the mix of unit sizes allows the properties to serve a range of households.
