About the Project
This project will demolish the County-owned property located on S. Irving St., a detached three-level single family group home, and replace it with a new two-story family home. This new home was designed and is constructed to provide permanent residence for up to six individuals with developmental and physical disabilities across their lifespans, regardless of physical and behavioral support needs. The demolished home was in deteriorating condition, had accessibility problems, and was not well-suited for use as a group home.
The new home will be staffed 24 hours a day with Daily Support Professionals (DSPs) who will assist each resident with activities of daily living and care. The DSPs will be supervised by a House Manager and Program Manager.
Per the objective of the County’s Facility Sustainability Policy, the new home shall be designed and constructed to be energy efficient with excellent indoor air quality and in alignment with the EarthCraft House residential green building certification program. To achieve this certification, the new home will be well-insulated with energy efficient windows, energy recovery ventilation, a geothermal heating and cooling system, and other energy and water efficient building components.
