The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) has awarded $53 million for 14 projects aimed at housing older adults and adults with disabilities. More than 400 beds or units are expected to be created.
“We are supporting local communities to acquire, renovate and upgrade properties throughout the state – providing, not just a place to call home, but helping individuals stay out of homelessness,” said Governor Gavin Newsom. “In California, we’re doubling down on our efforts to deliver more housing and services in record time and at a fraction of the price.”
Grants were awarded through the new Community Care Expansion (CCE) Program, which funds acquisitions, rehabilitation and construction of adult and senior care facilities, such as permanent supportive housing and recuperative care sites.
“These significant and timely investments will provide new housing options that will support older adults and adults with disabilities in California,” said CDSS Director Kim Johnson. “We must continue to combat our homelessness crisis. Through this effort, we are breathing new life into old facilities and acquiring and building new facilities that will support some of our most vulnerable residents, including people at risk of or experiencing homelessness.”
