This residential facility combines the rehabilitation of a one-story SRO (single-room occupancy) building (Firwood Group Home) with the new construction of a craftsman style residence (110th Street Place). The exterior appearance of the new group residence is designed to complement the architecture of the surrounding single-family housing and blend into the residential neighborhood. Firwood Group Home contains 20 bedrooms that are laid out in clusters of three to five rooms on short corridors to create a sense of community among the residents. 110th Street Place provides 8 bedrooms and incorporates several craftsman style details such as oversized pilasters and posts, a large front porch, and bay windows. Special consideration was given to the interior layout to provide both a sense of privacy for the residents as well as to create shared living spaces to promote easy interaction.
Firwood Group Home and 110th Street Place serves persons with mental or non-traditional physical disabilities who can benefit from living in a community environment. All are at incomes at or below 30% of median income. Community House Mental Health Agency provides on-site property management, case management, and 24-hour emergency response teams to deal with crisis situations.
