Best affordable seniors housing design for Global Awards shortlisted
LONDON: The shortlist for the best affordable seniors housing design has been declared.
Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.
Shell Beach Senior Apartments will open in the summer of 2024 in Pismo Beach, featuring 26 housing units for low- and extremely low-income seniors.
Pacific Development Group President Joe Michael said the affordable housing development company partnered with the Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo, the city of Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo County and the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee to bring the project to life.
“Every affordable housing project is a true public-private partnership, just because you need those sources of funds from the city, the county and the state to make them work,” Michael said. “That’s our bread and butter.”
The project will be available to low- and extremely low-income seniors, and will reserve three units for homeless seniors as a transitional step.
The Global Award winner will be announced in April in London. (Globals)
