Contract Control Number: OEDEV-201732988
Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”): Family HomeStead
Type and Scope of services to be performed: In March 2016, Family HomeStead began operating an emergency and transitional housing program at a DHA-owned property at the southeast corner of E 37th Avenue and Columbine Street, known as Parkside Apartments, in the Clayton neighborhood. This loan will enable Family HomeStead to purchase the property from DHA and continue its use as emergency/transitional housing for 40 years. DHA is selling the buildings to Family HomeStead but is leasing the land for 99 years at $10/year.
The Parkside Apartments are two-story walk-up townhomes arranged around a rectangular landscaped courtyard, with alley-accessed parking. They include 16 three-bedroom (1,028 sf) and 16 four-bedroom apartments (1,173 sf), all with full basements. One unit is used for client case management and onsite property management.
Families requiring emergency housing receive intensive case management services and rent-free independent apartments for 30-90 days. Referrals from the Denver Department of Human Services receive first priority for housing. Families needing six-month transitional housing will pay a minimal deposit and monthly rent of no more than 30% of their income. Priority is given to families leaving Family HomeStead’s emergency housing program, shelters, and safehouses.
Family HomeStead has been housing homeless families since 1978, and now operates 87 private apartment units of emergency and transitional housing in seven locations in Denver and Lakewood. The organization provides a continuum of housing and social services funded by private local initiatives. In all, Family HomeStead’s annual objective is to provide 24,000 days of emergency and transitional housing. Approximately 75% of the families that complete their supportive program achieve one or more of the following: move to next-step housing; obtain income to support next-step housing; and address the issues that caused their homelessness as identified in their case management plan.
