Summary
Provide Housing for Individuals and Families Experiencing Homelessness and Mental Illness
The Housing Authority County of San Joaquin (HACSJ) is proud to announce a momentous partnership with San Joaquin Behavioral Health Services (SJCBHS), under which permanent, supportive housing for the homeless will be developed. Individuals experiencing homelessness, chronic homelessness, are at risk of chronic homelessness, and who are also in need of mental health services can qualify for an affordable home in one of the planned 37 one-bedroom units.
In order to complete this crucial project, HACSJ and SJCBHS will be applying for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) in July 2021 and were also awarded nearly $2.1 million in non-competitive No Place Like Home funds (NPLH). HACSJ will provide Housing Choice Project-Based Voucher rental assistance for the 600 sq. ft. units, and SJCBHS will provide supportive services for residents
