Mt. Alifan Apartments
Background:
Mt. Alifan Apartments will provide 52 supportive homes in San Diego's Clairemont neighborhood for people who have experienced homelessness. These affordable homes are coupled with robust support services that help residents live more stable, independent lives. This model is known as "Housing First" and has been proven as an effective solution for homelessness, helping some U.S. communities reduce chronic homelessness by as much as 90 percent. Just as in traditional apartment complexes, residents sign long-term leases and must follow specific house rules that ensure quiet, safe enjoyment of the residential community.
Design:
The proposed design includes a mix of one-bedroom and studio apartments, along with parking, lounges, a community room with teaching kitchen, a laundry room and office space. There will also be outdoor gathering spaces, such as a courtyard or rooftop deck.
Community Benefits:
Mt. Alifan Apartments will help alleviate the City of San Diego's growing need for supportive housing for the homeless by using a proven model for reducing homelessness. It will also help to spur revitalization by replacing an outdated office building with a beautiful, new community of affordable homes designed by a nationally-recognized architecture firm.
Timeline:
Plans for Mt. Alifan Apartments are in the early stages of planning and it will likely be several years before the property opens its doors. Please check back here for updates or sign up for email updates at mtalifan@wakelandhdc.com
