Re: Second Quarter 2026 Letter to Stockholders of Strategic Student and Senior Housing Trust, Inc. (“SSSHT” or the “Company”)
Dear Stockholders,
The Green Street Real Estate Analytics Health Care Sector Update report dated May 25, 2026, cites the following senior housing operating portfolio (“SHOP”) trends:
Our Year-to-date June 30, 2026 performance compared to Year-to-date June 30, 2025
Operational areas of focus in 2026
We are finalizing the last of our Utah “light” renovations to improve first impressions and occupancies. As of June 30, 2026, our Cottonwood Creek community is 100% private pay as is now our entire SHOP portfolio. The property renovations combined with high occupancies have allowed us to increase both base rents and care fees which together are contributing to our mid-teens annual net operating income growth. In summary, the senior housing market industry fundamentals and our SHOP communities remain strong.
In summary
We remain focused on positioning the Company as we continue evaluating opportunities to maximize shareholder returns.
All communities are institutionally operated (MBK Senior Living), well-maintained and performing well. Again, I thank you for your patience as we best optimize these SHOP communities.
Sincerely,
|

John Strockis CEO and President |
