An additional extension of the term of the contract was previously authorized by Council on August 21, 2023, but is only now being used to extend the contract through the end of 2024.
Following the renovation of the property, Integral Care will operate the facility, which will include 60 fully furnished efficiency apartments. Each apartment will contain one bed. Eligible individuals will be single adults with a documented history of chronic homelessness and a disabling condition. This is a permanent resident site where individuals will receive a yearly lease to live in the facility. To ensure that individuals have access to the right level of care to support their recovery and maintain housing, Integral Care will provide onsite support services, including case management, service coordination, living skills training, housing stability support, assistance accessing basic needs, and community building activities.
