Now Streaming: A Nesting Place

We are proud to share A Nesting Place, a six minute documentary celebrating the launch of Natural Bridges Apartments, the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Cruz’s first new affordable housing development in more than 30 years.

Through the voices of residents, community leaders, and the artist whose mural reflects the migration of birds and butterflies, the film explores belonging, transformation, and the meaning of home. A Nesting Place is a tribute to the idea that everyone deserves a nest from which to grow and thrive.
