West Bay Plans for New Housing Development

West Bay Housing provides permanent and affordable housing for underserved populations with an emphasis on people with developmental disabilities through a continuum of housing opportunities.

Group Living Arrangements for Developmental Center Consumers

Agnews Developmental Center will be closing per legislation in California Assembly Bill 2100 by 2007. The three Regional Centers whose clients reside at Agnews have the responsibility to provide community living opportunities through small group homes to their respective clients. West Bay will identify and assist the master developer, The Hallmark Group, to purchase and renovate approximately 11 houses for GGRC’s Agnews consumers. When permanent financing is obtained for these 11 homes, ownership and property management will transfer to West Bay.

Group Living Arrangements for Training Center Clients

West Bay has assisted Kainos Home and Training Center, Redwood City, in meeting their licensing requirements to provide affordable independent living arrangements for their clients to have the opportunity, many for the first time in their lives, to have their own home and own bedroom. West Bay acquired and provides property management for the new Chantal and Sanchez Houses, and also has managed the Kainos campus renovations.

Home Donation Model

West Bay is developing a model for home donation in exchange for the disabled adult to continue to live in the family home rent free, receive supportive services, and enjoy the company of two or three other roommates.

New Construction Set-Aside Units

West Bay has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Citizen’s Housing to provide set aside affordable units serving people with developmental disabilities as part of the expansion of Rosa Parks Senior Housing in San Francisco’s Western Addition.

West Bay is exploring other opportunities in San Mateo County to develop set-aside units for the clients of GGRC.

New Construction Especially for People with Developmental Disabilities

West Bay is currently pursuing new development opportunities in San Francisco to provide affordable housing exclusively for people with developmental disabilities.
