About Us
Peninsula Volunteer Properties (PVP) provides older adults with comfortable and affordable places to call home.
PENINSULA VOLUNTEER PROPERTIES
For decades, we’ve been creating homes that empower older adults to live independently with dignity and grace.
Our journey began in 1960 when Peninsula Volunteers successfully petitioned the City of Menlo Park to rezone land at 817 Partridge Avenue for retirement living—the first zoning of its kind in the U.S. Soon after, the Housing and Home Finance Agency (the predecessor to HUD) awarded PVI a $280,000 loan to build Partridge-Kennedy, a 30- unit senior housing community. While it was only the second loan of its kind from HHFA, it was the first to fund new construction.
Two decades later, we added 93 more units of affordable senior housing at Crane Place, just steps from downtown Menlo Park. This project, backed by a HUD loan, led to the creation of Peninsula Volunteer Properties (PVP) to ensure both communities were thoughtfully managed and designed with seniors in mind.
Today, PVP provides 58% of Menlo Park’s affordable senior housing, carrying forward our mission to support and uplift the city’s aging population.
