ULI Homeless to Housed Case Study: John Parvensky Stout Street Recuperative Care Center and Renaissance Legacy Lofts

Résumé de l'étude de cas : The John Parvensky Stout Street Recuperative Care Center and Renaissance Legacy Lofts in Denver, Colorado, is a nine-story mixed-use facility housing both the Recuperative Care Center and supportive housing in a single building. The Recuperative Care Center provides comprehensive services to people with acute medical or behavioral conditions experiencing homelessness who have been discharged from local hospitals. Since opening in 2022, the Recuperative Care Center and Legacy Lofts have been a unique and vital community resource because they offer individuals who have been hospitalized a safe place to recover. As part of the Social Impact Partnership Pay for Results Act (SIPPRA) program under the U.S. Department of Treasury, the project is designed to improve health outcomes and reduce Medicaid expenses by enhancing access to nonemergency health care services and increasing housing stability.

The project aims to provide a stable and safe place for healing. Centering a person-first, trauma-informed approach to care and housing, project partners sought to integrate various services within the facility. The Stout Street Recuperative Care Center occupies the first three floors, offering 75 medical respite beds. The upper floors house the Renaissance Legacy Lofts, with 98 permanent supportive housing apartments targeting people experiencing homelessness and high utilizers (patients who frequently visit emergency departments) of emergency rooms, emergency services, and other expensive hospital care. Notably, project architects Christopher Carvell Architects incorporated communal spaces throughout the building to allow residents to connect with each other and their environment.

The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless (CCH) owns and operates the project. With over 40 years of experience collaboratively preventing homelessness and providing sustainable housing and health solutions to individuals across Colorado, CCH provides vital assistance to over 20,000 Coloradans each year. Its work spans housing, health care, support services, and advocacy.
