Common areas will include offices, multipurpose room with a kitchenette, shared laundry on each floor and mechanical rooms. Exterior improvements include vehicular parking for 13 cars, covered bike parking, a courtyard and landscaping that incorporates stormwater infiltration. Veterans Affairs (VA) in partnership with other local agencies will provide support services such as employment, health care, education, and clinical case management to veteran residents. Linn County Heath Authority will provide services for the residents in the 8-studio units. The project will be supported by HUD Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Vouchers.
