SHARED HOUSING
Housing Administrator Bonne Gaebler requested Commission direction regarding staff strategy
to re -use a home owned by the PCDC and used for the Shared Housing Program until it was
damaged by a fire. The property is located at 1234 San Rafael Avenue. This home was being
operated by Innovative Housing until that organization ceased to exist in November of 1996. As
a result, the Commission agreed that Committee On The Shelterless (COTS) would assume
operations of the 1234 San Rafael Avenue house as well as the 1416 Serpilio Way house, which
had also been operated by Innovative Housing. The house Serpilio Way house was transferred to
City ownership. The San Rafael Drive house is in a process with the insurance company.
Rehabilitation of the San Rafael Drive house will take approximately 6 months.
At another location, 4 Jess Avenue owned by the Commission, there is a 4 bedroom and 2
bathroom house which was used as a "job shack" when the Payran Street Bridge was being
replaced. The Payran Street bridge work has been completed and the house is now available for
reuse as a housing site after some painting and other necessary improvements. Utilizing
volunteer efforts and donations, COTS would be able to make this Jess Avenue house available
to four households as "shared housing." The probable clients are single moms with children.
The Commission's Housing Fund for housing facilities maintenance could be utilized for those
costs to make the 4 Jess Avenue house livable. There is the possibility that the Healthy
Communities Consortium may "adopt" this house and assist in the it rehabilitation.
