Applicants say CareerLink, Penn Medicine and homelessness providers would operate services at South Prince Street site
Summary
Presenters told the planning commission the first floor of the South Prince Street project will host service partners including CareerLink and a potential Penn Medicine clinic, with the Homelessness Coalition managing transitional-program rules; the first floor's nine units will be configured to accommodate families and single residents.
During the presentation on the 132134 South Prince Street proposal, applicants described planned on-site services and how they will be operated. Marisol, representing the Housing Authority, said CareerLink has already agreed to participate and that the project team has discussed a medical space with Penn Medicine; she said the nine transitional units will be managed by the Homelessness Coalition and operate under program rules.
Marisol told the commission, "we are hoping to construct on the 1st Floor 9 transitional units." Applicants said the first-floor space will be leased to service providers through an RFP process, and that the Homelessness Coalition will set program requirements and manage lease/operations for the transitional units. Commissioners asked whether the transitional area could accommodate families; the applicants said some units were sized for families and others configured for single adults.
Staff and applicants said details about tenant selection, program rules, and partner agreements will be clarified in the developer agreement and that the Homelessness Coalition will be the primary manager for first-floor transitional services. The commission conditioned final approval on the execution of required agreements before issuing final sign-off.
