Housing
The Santa Clara county Board has authorized the County Administration to fund the following six types of housing projects.
- Type 1: Projects that commit at least 50% of the units within the project as Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH), Rapid Rehousing (RRH), or a combination of PSH and RRH units. (Note the County will select and/or approve the target population for PSH units).
- Type 2: Projects that have an affordability structure resulting in an average affordability of 45% of AMI and commit a minimum of 25% of the affordable units as a combination of PSH and RRH, 25% of the affordable units for ELI households and the remaining affordable units for households earning up to 80% AMI.

Project Housing
We expect to serve families and individuals eligible for permanent supportive housing as well as low-income families and individuals earning below 60% AMI. While a specific unit count has not been determined yet, our housing partner has experience building and managing as few as 35 units of supportive housing to as many as 135 units. Unit mixes for permanent supportive housing and family housing include Studios, 1Br and 2Br. Residents will have easy access to the on-site health clinic as well as supportive services facilities depending on the population.
