CHALLENGE
SOLUTION
RESULT
The first facility of its kind where people in need could receive clinical care and housing to help transition them back into the community.
- Very constrained sight next to Max on a busy intersection with no parking or staging adjacent to site
- Complicated design programming to provide medical, mental health and housing for a vulnerable client population
- Complicated funding structure utilizing a variety of grants, LIHTC etc. requiring two separate contacts for Clinical and housing within the same building.
SOLUTION
- CCC purchased a site across the street for temporary offices and staging. Careful coordination required to manage deliveries…
- Multiple design and programming meetings to understand the vision as well as the practical requirements of the different uses all while keeping focus on how important the client experience had to be for a population that we served
- Treated the project as 2 separate buildings with separate Contracts, Payment Applications and occupancies.
RESULT
The first facility of its kind where people in need could receive clinical care and housing to help transition them back into the community.
