Specifically, in <br />July 2023 the City Council approved a pre-commitment (e.g. award) of <br />$2,021,319 in Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention funds, and eight (8) <br />project- based vouchers for Illumination Foundation for the development of the <br />Intergenerational Housing Project located at 918 N. Bewley St. The City also <br />offered them technical assistance in order for them to pursue additional funding <br />from CalOptima. The Project includes the rehabilitation of two (2), two-story <br />residential buildings that were previously utilized by The Lovers of the Holy <br />Cross Sisters as a convent and preschool. The Developer will convert the two <br />residential buildings into eleven (11) rental units comprised of two (2) one- <br />bedroom units, seven (7) two-bedroom units, and two (2) three-bedroom units. <br />Two (2) one-bedroom units and six (6) two-bedroom units will be restricted to <br />homeless transitional age youth (TAY) at or below 30% of the Area Median <br />Income (“AMI”). The two (2) three-bedroom units will be structured as shared <br />housing for homeless senior citizens at or below 50% of the AMI. One (1) two- <br />bedroom unit will be unrestricted. The Developer also proposes to construct an <br />Accessory Dwelling Unit (“ADU”) on the Site. The ADU will be used as office <br />space for supportive services and programming functions. An existing preschool <br />building is also located on the Site. The Developer proposes to work with Head <br />Start to renovate and operate the preschool space.
