IOA's New Senior Campus

3575 Geary Campaign

IOA’s Board of Directors has initiated an $18 million fundraising effort – the 3575 Geary Campaign – to ensure the successful completion of the Senior Campus project. Donations to the campaign will help make this exciting new vision for senior services a reality, providing countless older adults with access to much-needed affordable housing and supportive services.

The Senior Campus Scope

Institute on Aging (IOA) and BRIDGE Housing Corporation are working together to develop an innovative new facility that will combine an array of supportive services with affordable apartments for older adults. Located at 3575 Geary Boulevard, the Senior Campus will serve as the main location for IOA’s comprehensive health and social support programs.

The state-of-the-art facility will also be home to 150 expertly designed independent living spaces for seniors of modest income and those with special needs. Bridge Housing will own and manage the residential living, and 53 of the units will be reserved for PACE-eligible seniors (Program for All-Inclusive Care).

The new Senior Campus is scheduled to open in fall 2010. Fundraising continues for this vital project.
