permanent supportive affordable housing

Overview

The Inn at Temescal is a 22-unit motel converted to permanent housing with a priority on Veterans with a VASH voucher. The project included funding from Project Homekey and the City of Oakland to upgrade, convert, and place individuals who are currently homeless and impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This property has been recently remodeled and the rooms will stay very much the same. There are 21 affordable units along with manager’s unit for a total of 22 units. Some modifications included creating a warming kitchen, with stove/range, dishwasher, pantry, refrigerator and counter space, common dining area with furniture and a restroom. The office space created is to be shared by the onsite manager and services provider. The fencing around the property has been extended to make the property fully fenced.

The project includes on site property management and case management. The project site is close to BART and bus transit, grocery stores, medical facilities and a pharmacy.
