Pacific Village Phase 2 will expand an on-campus model that combines permanent supportive housing with treatment services for people experiencing homelessness, county presenters said at the Jan. 13 board meeting.
County-affiliated presenters described the project as an integrated campus that "represents 32 substance use disorder beds, 32 recuperative care beds, as well as 70 permanent supportive housing units," and said the facility is designed to give residents access to treatment, recuperative care and case coordination on-site.
The proposal, presenters said, prioritizes Medi-Cal-eligible residents, pregnant women, people experiencing homelessness and other high-risk populations. The presenters said the project aims to move people off the streets into homes connected to services and recovery supports.
IHP secured $3,500,000 to support the Pacific Village project, presenters said, and the county's continuum-of-care partners are working with project staff to align housing metrics and services.
Presenters described the campus as an example of cross-department collaboration, noting the project involves multiple county departments and leadership teams tasked with balancing privacy, safety and community access while delivering behavioral-health and housing services.
A former unhoused resident who spoke during the meeting credited the HOPE team and county programs with facilitating his recovery and reintegration into family life, underscoring the county's argument for integrated housing-and-services models.
Next steps: presenters did not provide a final construction timeline at the meeting; funding and interagency coordination were described as ongoing. The board did not take a separate vote on this specific project during the Jan. 13 meeting.
