The remaining funds for this conversion would be provided by a HUD grant that was previously appropriated by the City Council. The overall intent of this project is to expand the Continuum of Housing opportunities offered at Park Woods by allowing some of the transitional clients to "graduate" to permanent on-site housing. These units had been previously used as emergency housing, but that program has been discontinued. Under the HUD grant agreement, the units would become available to homeless families with a disabled adult or child. Families will access the housing through permanent, project based Section 8 certificates. The units would be open to all project based Section 8 certificate holders including Park Woods tenants whose disabilities make it impossible for them to access traditional rental units in the community.
