The former YWCA building in Santa Ana is being transformed again, this time into nearly 50 supportive housing units for Orange County’s most vulnerable residents.
The $30 million project is the first housing facility for the nonprofit WISEPlace, which operates an emergency shelter for domestic violence victims at 1411 N. Broadway St. The nearly 75-year-old building will be reinvented by the project developer and affordable housing nonprofit Jamboree.
The two-story structure along Sycamore will be demolished and a four-story building added in its place. New construction will rise above the existing building on Broadway.
Overall, the 47,000-square-foot complex will have 48 furnished affordable housing units, each with a bathroom, shower and kitchenette. One unit with two bedrooms will be reserved for the site manager.
The studio apartments will run between 400-500 square feet for people earning no more than 30% of the area’s median income. Twenty-five studios come with vouchers, which means residents will pay a portion of the rent based on their income, with the residents’ portions expected to be roughly $280 monthly.
Community spaces will include a learning lab, service areas, private counseling and case management spaces, wellness and fitness rooms and a courtyard complete with gardens and room for domestic pets.
