Summary
HACSJ partners with SJCBHS to provide housing for individuals experiencing mental health issues and homelessness.
The Housing Authority County of San Joaquin (HACSJ) is proud to announce a partnership with San Joaquin Behavioral Health Services (SJCBHS) under which permanent supportive housing for the homeless and mentally ill will be developed. Individuals experiencing homelessness and in need of mental health services can qualify for an affordable home in one of the 50 units planned.
The site will consist of two buildings. First, the historic office building located at 709 N. Center Street will be redesigned in a manner honoring its heritage, to include 23 residential units and a manager’s unit. Secondly, a new 3-story building will be constructed, to include 27 residential units, a community room, computer room, and offices for management and residential mental health services. The two buildings will be connected via a second-floor bridge, allowing elevator access for all. The vast scope of this project necessitated the acquisition of a second property—a vacant lot at 39 W. Park Street. Construction will be completed in late 2025.
Funding
Acquisition of the two properties was made possible by a $1.8 million grant awarded to HACSJ by SJCBHS through the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA). Funding for construction will come from several sources including additional SJBHS grants awarded through MHSA and Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) totaling $9.85 million, a $2.2 million City of Stockton HOME funds grant, and the July 2023 award of $1.9 million in Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). HACSJ will provide Housing Choice Project-Based Voucher rental assistance for the 50 units, while SJCBHS will provide support services for residents.
