Bethlehem Towers

Bethlehem Tower is an affordable senior community comprised of studio and 1-bedroom apartments. The property serves low to very-low income households. Tax-exempt bond financing was provided by Citi Community Capital. Low Income Housing Tax Credits were acquired by Union Bank.

Developed by a local church group called Bethlehem Towers, Inc. in 1973, Bethlehem Tower is the tallest building in Santa Rosa. After 40 years of operation, and in need of significant capital improvements, the Board selected Reiner Communities as the new steward of the property. Transactional proceeds from the sale allowed the non-profit to create a new entity known as the Bethlehem Foundation. The non-profit is now focused exclusively on providing services directly to seniors throughout Sonoma County. The Foundation's first grant was to fund a full-time senior service coordinator, who will serve the residents of Bethlehem Tower.
