Permanent supportive homes for veterans with on-site case management, a clinic and a garden, finished and furnished so residents moved in with keys and a made bed.
The project combined affordable housing financing, veterans services funding and strict accessibility requirements. The budget was fixed by tax credits and grants, and every home had to be fully furnished, with case management offices, a small clinic and a garden ready on move-in day. Many residents were coming from shelters, so the move-in date could not slip.
The approach.
- 01
An open-book budget
Estimates were shared line by line with the owner and lenders, and buyout was finished early to lock the budget.
- 02
Accessibility checked in the field
Accessible routes, clearances and fixtures were checked against the drawings at rough-in and again at finish.
- 03
Services built in first
Case management offices, the clinic room and the community room were finished first so the service team could set up early.
- 04
Move-in ready, not just done
Our team set furniture, linens and kitchenware in every home and walked each unit with the property manager.
The outcome.
“Some of these veterans had not had their own front door in years. We wanted that door to open on a finished home.”
