Best seniors housing design for Global Awards shortlisted
LOS ANGELES: Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.
The Housing Authority of the City of Alameda (AHA) has received $20.6 million dollars from the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development. “The California Multifamily Super NOFA transformed a once burdensome and lengthy funding application process into an accessible and smart one-stop shop that will get more housing built faster,” said Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency Secretary Lourdes Castro Ramírez. “This results in new homes for struggling working families, veterans, farmworkers, and people exiting homelessness. California will continue to act with urgency to find new, innovative solutions to fast track housing development.”
This funding will help AHA build “North Housing Senior Apartments” which is the first phase of this long planned North Housing community development project. This senior property will include 64 affordable apartments for only seniors (ages 62 years and older) and is comprised of forty studios, twenty-three one-bedroom apartments, and a two-bedroom apartment for an onsite manager.
The Global Award winner will be announced in April in London. (Globals)
