Progress Update

Highlights from Q1 (January through March 2023) include:

  • Behavioral Health Community Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) funds were awarded to purchase a property on Sutton Way to be used as a day center and navigation center. Escrow closed on the property on September 15 and staff are currently working to pull down grant funding and plan for renovations. 
  • Construction is complete on Cashin’s Field and tenants are moved in. The project will provide 51 units of affordable workforce housing. 
  • Empire Mine Courtyard is complete and provides 21 units of permanent housing for homeless individuals. Units are occupied or in the process of selecting an occupant. 
  • The Ranch House:  No Place Like Home Round 2 funding in the amount of $1,412,000  is being used to convert an existing three-bedroom, two bath County owned property into six individual units of permanent supportive housing with estimated completion of January of 2025. The project received  $2,700,000 in additional funding for construction from the Community Care Expansion grant. Currently, the property is in the process of zoning changes and building permits. Construction is estimated to begin in Fall of 2023.
  • Pacific Crest Commons is a collaboration between HCS staff,  Regional Housing Authority, developer The Pacific Companies (TPC), and the Town of Truckee to secure financing for the California Highway Patrol surplus site in Truckee. Round 4 No Place Like Home funding has been awarded. The project will incorporate 10 supportive housing units into the project. The project has also secured $2M in local soft financing for development costs. The project continues through the entitlement process and it is anticipated that the project will apply for TCAC tax credits in April of 2023.
  • The Landlord Liaison and Recruitment (LLP) program is currently underway and is being promoted to the public through press releases, collaboration with local businesses, and through Community Solutions and the Built for Zero initiative. 
  • Lone Oak Phase II is in planning for 31 units of low income Senior housing. 
  • The Affordable Workforce and Housing Team is a collaboration between the Community Development Agency and Health and Human Services to advance development of affordable and workforce housing through coordination on projects and policies. The Team meets monthly.
