File Number: 22-263 partner with the City to develop the property into permanent supportive housing. Analysis At the March 21 City Council meeting staff proposed a two-phase interim housing to permanent housing development proposal for its planned Project Homekey grant application: ·Phase 1 - Interim Housing with Navigation Center (2 to 4 years estimated) After acquisition of the Property and approval of State Project Homekey funding, the City will undertake necessary renovations in order to begin operating the navigation center/shelter as soon as feasible. During this interim period, the City will also find a more permanent site for the navigation center/shelter to move to and to explore additional public financing to convert the Property into long-term supportive and affordable rental housing. Homekey requires capital grant funding to be expended within 8 months from date of grant award to facilitate the approved project’s operating as soon as possible. Homekey allows grantees to operate the interim housing option for 15 years, but the City will work towards the Phase 2 permanent option much sooner (less than 5 years) Notable Phase 1 Renovations: 1)Conversion of an estimated 4 of the existing 33 motel units into management and services offices, meeting/conference spaces, community room, and laundry room. 2)Necessary life safety (such as fire safety), electrical, mechanical, plumbing and accessibility improvements. 3)Resurfacing parking lot for accessibility and added open space usable by clients. This would involve removal of about 6 to 8 existing parking spaces. Proposed Phase 1 Navigation center/drop-in services: 1)Open five days a week from 9-5 with front desk greeting. 2)Staffed by 2 on-site services staff and a case manager. 3)On-site facility property manager to be outsourced and managed by the City. BFWC focuses on support services and therefore does not have capacity to property manage. City is currently exploring qualified property management firms. 4)Food to go for homeless clients or on-site consumption. 5)Address for homeless clients to use for their mail. 6)Available supplies and clothing. 7)Access to showers. 8)Access to laundry room. 9)Interior (community room) and exterior (courtyards) recreation spaces. 10)Mental health provider to engage and educate clients on mental health, a support group and one on one services (to be subcontracted). 11)Substance abuse provider to engage and educate clients on substance abuse issues they might be experiencing, a support group and one on one services (to be subcontracted).
