The AngelFish Village Initiative 

 

The CBO AngelFish Housing Initiative was developed to provide temporary housing for those displaced by events outside their control. A natural disaster like an earthquake, fire or flood, a  job loss or even divorce that causes someone to lose their primary residence , whether owned or rented. 

The above conceptual design was developed to sit above an underground and secure parking structure, with two levels of 193 total apartment-like 1 and 2 bedroom units. Residents who could pay a substantially reduced rent would be required to pay $500 for a 1 bedroom and $700 for a 2 bedroom unit to help offset the cost of building the property.  

Those who could not pay would be provided housing at no cost for a limited period of time. The AngelFish Village Apartments are designed as short-term housing of no longer than 24 months, as transitional housing. 

It is important to note that this is not designed as a Homeless shelter-like project for those living on the streets. It is a project for those with an existing job, or potential for finding a job. The goal of the initiative is to bridge the lives of individuals who are going through life changes before they fall into a mental state that often leads good people to suicide.

The estimated project cost is $15 million and would require a minimum of 3 acres of land. We hope to one day to be able to fund and operate such a project with the support of corporate and individual donors. In the meantime, we are focusing on other important projects
