The transformation of the former Budget Inn Motel into Estrella Springs marks a significant milestone in Santa Ana’s commitment to supporting veterans and addressing homelessness. This innovative permanent supportive housing development, completed in November 2024, provides 89 studio apartments and two manager units, creating a vibrant community designed specifically for veterans and individuals with mental health diagnoses.
Situated on 1.8 acres in Santa Ana’s Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor, Estrella Springs offers residents convenient access to essential services, retail establishments, and public transportation. The development’s thoughtful density of 50.5 dwelling units per acre maximizes the available space while maintaining a comfortable living environment for all residents.
