ULI Homeless to Housed Case Study: LifeMoves Mountain View

Zusammenfassung der Fallstudie: LifeMoves Mountain View is a Project Homekey supportive interim housing community that offers a private unit for each household (a family, a couple, or a single adult) experiencing homelessness–while providing intensive case management and support services designed to return people to stability. 100 units and ADA-compliant buildings serve approximately 124 people--10X the number of year-round shelter beds previously available in Mountain View. This housing community was designed using the team's LifeMoves | Mountain View model: a modular housing solution intended to be able to rapidly prototype, scale, and implement based on the housing needs of the local community.

Four different design/build firms manufactured four distinct building types for the site. The LifeMoves Mountain View project brought together a diverse mix of funding partners and construction partners to support the development and opening of a state-of-the-art modular housing community that is near public transit and integrated into the Mountain View community—providing a key asset in the transition from homelessness to housed for residents and the greater community.
