Item/Subject: Resolve, Appropriating $19,154 from the Park Woods Trust Fund to Convert
Units to Permanent Housing
Responsible Department: Health & Community Services
Commentary:
The attached resolve would appropriate $19,154 from the Park Wood Trust Fund to finance a
portion of the costs associated with converting four units at Park Woods from
emergency/transitional housing to permanent housing. 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.
