Bakersfield’s New Senior Housing Breaks Ground | Bakersfield News

Groundbreaking has begun on Bakersfield’s much-anticipated affordable senior housing, a 27-million-dollar project set to deliver 36 homes for seniors earning up to 60% of the area’s median income. Spearheaded by Lilli Parker, the Executive Director of the Bakersfield Senior Center, who’s championed this cause for 12 years, the development is made possible through ten funding sources—including critical federal support from Congressman David Valadao’s Community Project Funding Program. Parker, a tireless advocate for overlooked seniors, envisions the facility as a safe, welcoming haven for families and community elders. With construction slated to last 19 months, this milestone reflects a powerful coalition of partners and a shared commitment to honoring those who’ve served their communities.
