“Every property we acquire is an investment in stronger communities. While the number of affordable homes we have created or preserved can be counted, our success in improving communities cannot be captured in numbers alone.”

“Standard-Faring Essential Housing was designed to help fill the missing-middle gap in California, providing essential workers—including teachers, firefighters, social workers, nurses and others—an opportunity to live in the neighborhoods where they work,” said Jeff Jaeger Co-Founder, and Principal of Standard Communities.

"Our growth is a direct reflection of the caliber of our team, the culture we continue to build at Standard, and the need for the work we are doing across the country. We are achieving growth exceeding 100 percent. In the first half of 2021, Standard acquired ten communities, across seven states, providing high-quality housing to more than 5,000 new residents,” said Jeff Jaeger, Co-founder, and Principal of Standard Communities.

“Having a trusted, people-first leader like Joe as our Chief Strategy Officer is essential to our mission to make Standard the premier affordable and workforce housing organization. Joe brings a truly unique set of skills, perspectives, and existing relationships that align seamlessly to our existing leadership team and with our vision for the future,” said Scott Alter, Principal and Co-Founder of Standard.

"The work being done to provide high-quality housing for seniors is more important than ever. While this year has indeed brought unprecedented challenges, they only added to what was already a difficult environment for seniors before COVID-19. In most metropolitan areas, those on fixed incomes—as many seniors are—struggled to afford high-quality housing even prior to 2020. This reality makes safe, affordable housing more critical than ever, and demand for senior and affordable housing will only continue to grow," said Jeffrey Jaeger, Principal and Co-Founder of Standard Communities.

"Housing is a bedrock of a flourishing, healthy community," said Scott Alter, Principal and Co-Founder of Standard Communities.

“We are finding ways to directly help segments of the community that are disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.” He added “Standard actively leverages its expertise to work alongside – and in partnership with – public agencies and community partners to create strong and vibrant communities across the country,” said Jeff Jaeger, Principal and Co-Founder of Standard Communities.
