First of Three Phases of Renovations to Former HACSJ Offices
The first of three phases of renovations to the Housing Authority County of San Joaquin’s (HACSJ) former administrative offices is well underway, thanks to a partnership with San Joaquin County Behavioral Health Services (SJCBHS). In place of empty offices, HACSJ and SJCBHS will be able to provide low-cost, high-quality, affordable housing for our community.
Phase I begins with Crossway at Center Street, with the former offices’ renovation into 15 studio units and an on-site manager’s unit. SJCBHS, through the Mental Health Services Act, was awarded a grant to renovate and convert the former HACSJ administrative offices. With HACSJ providing the land and the buildings, the partnership has built the studio units at a cost-effective price of $139,000 per unit. SJCBHS will provide supportive services to residents, and the units will be reserved for a 20-year period to provide housing for SJCBHS clients. In addition, HACSJ will provide rental subsidies through the Housing Choice Project-Based Voucher program.
