Affordable Housing Project at 2530 & 2534 Westminster Avenue <br />May 17, 2022 <br />Page 5 <br />2 <br />6 <br />8 <br />9 <br />Regarding the future Subordination Agreement with the County of Orange, the County is <br />seeking approval from the Board of Supervisors to subordinate the County’s loan to the <br />City’s loans. If the Board of Supervisors does not approve the request, the City will be <br />required to subordinate our loans to the loans from the County of Orange. <br />Project Description <br />The project includes 84 new affordable units and 1 manager’s unit, with 58 three- and four- <br />bedroom affordable units, and 26 one- and two-bedroom affordable units. A total of 75 <br />percent of the units will be set aside for extremely low-income households at 30-percent <br />Area Median Income. The three- and four-bedroom units will be designated for large <br />families, while the one- and two-bedroom units will be designated as permanent supportive <br />housing (PSH) for persons experiencing chronic homelessness and mental illness. <br />The project consists of two buildings that are four stories each, with a series of courtyards <br />and public open space. The larger massing is located on Westminster Avenue and tiered <br />lower to the South. The building architecture is modestly contemporary, responding to the <br />commercial conditions of the boulevard, while providing a comfortable environment for <br />residents. Much of the street facing ground floor is occupied by resident amenities, as well <br />as spaces for service providers and community partners. The indoor amenities and most <br />apartment homes are oriented around a series of courtyards with a mix of balconies, patios, <br />and decks engaging the common outdoor spaces. The amenities in the project include a <br />community room, community kitchen, laundry room, computer room, pocket park, <br />picnic/BBQ area, and a tot lot. <br />Resident Services <br />Mercy House will coordinate the delivery of all services including those committed through <br />the Orange County Health Care Agency. A comprehensive range of services will be offered <br />to assist residents achieve and maintain self-sufficient, healthy and purposeful lives. <br />Working under a Housing First and “Whatever it Takes” philosophy, Mercy House staff <br />utilizes strategies from an array of evidence-based models and practices to ensure residents <br />have access to all required services. <br />The project will provide a full suite of on-site client-centered services for the PSH residents <br />that support wellness, recovery and resiliency to adults diagnosed with a serious and <br />persistent mental illness who are homeless. A Residential Clinical Services Coordinator will <br />ensure that a Supportive Services Plan is enacted for all PSH units and residents have <br />access to needed services to maintain housing, a sense of community and quality of life. <br />Lastly, Mercy House will provide wrap-around services and coordination to activate the <br />community amenity spaces on site to meet the needs of all residents. <br />Community Inclusion <br />As part of the development process, the development team has engaged local partners to <br />determine suitable housing types and services, and to identify ideal partners for
