We’re excited to share that our partners at We Are Up are one step closer to realizing their vision for disability-forward housing in Humboldt County, California!
We Are Up engaged us in 2023 as their technical assistance and development advisor, and we’ve been working closely with them since then to transform their vision into a community-driven project. As a part of our work together, we:
- Conducted a comprehensive feasibility analysis, confirming the financial viability of their housing concept;
- Co-led a series of design charrettes, centering cross-disability design to ensure the built environment reflects the diversity of the community it will serve;
- Hosted the team at The Kelsey Ayer Station where we toured the community and led hands-on design workshops to adapt best practices for Humboldt’s community;
- Provided strategic support around capital stack development, public financing pathways, and co-developer structuring, supporting the We Are Up team with the tools to attract the partnerships and investment necessary to bring their vision to life.
We’re incredibly proud to walk alongside We Are Up as they shape the future of disability-forward housing in their community.
