Located at 1111 H Street in Davis, Paul’s Place is a unique, vertical, community designed by a local leading architect that provides critically needed, expanded services and shelter to the most vulnerable. This is a multi-functional structure designed with input from City and County officials, law enforcement, service providers and other members of the community. It provides a continuum of care and support services that effectively moves people from the streets to stability. This location offers day services, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing.
Paul’s Place includes:
- Eighteen 300-square-foot private units of permanent supportive micro-housing on two floors, with two units accessible to those with physical disabilities. Permanent supportive housing is affordable housing tied to supportive services, such as ongoing addiction or mental health treatment, case management and help with life skills.
- Ten single residence units of transitional housing, including a communal kitchen, family room, bathrooms, and laundry. Transitional housing is supportive – yet temporary – shelter that is meant to bridge the gap from homelessness to permanent housing by offering structure, supervision, and support for addictions and mental health.
- Four flex-beds. Note: These are not emergency beds, as they are not located in an area with staff support.
- Enhanced day services including enlarged shower, restroom, and laundry facilities.
- Expanded access to critical social services, life skills support, job training, and coordinated referrals with other resources and service providers.
- Important health services and programs to address the unique physical, mental, and emotional health needs of homeless individuals.
- A welcoming and functional design that supports 24-hour staffing and treats residents with dignity as they transition from the streets to stability.
