affordable housing

The desire for affordable housing, senior housing, youth housing, and emergency shelter was expressed through the community feedback with the most recognizable need for LGBTQIA+ senior housing. Housing as a program itself could be located as a stand alone resource near the community center, though about half of the community would prefer it directly adjacent for use of the other resources. The need for emergency shelter was expressed and would be most beneficial in a transitional short stay housing space with a private room. Both single studio apartments and multi-bedroom apartments were deemed necessary to the community. A mixing and mingling of these typologies may be benficial to the various age groups in need of housing and would foster a diverse community.
